I once had a wise and faithful counselor who advised me to play the game for where things will be when the dust settles. I'm content to do that now. No point in arguing about it in the mean time.

It's not arguing. It's making a conscious choice to partner with people who have integrity. Without integrity, you'll lose everything. It's your choice, as you already know. I speak from experience, lots of experience with people. When you ignore your instincts, and decide to go for mass profit instead, your community will be divided. I would like to talk directly to this Matt, as I have a very sharp indicator of trustworthy people. I will not be bothering you, I am merely trying to help you see things that you're blind to. But carry on, you'll choose to do whatever you wish. Every action has a direct reaction. No one on this platform will be silent, though.

In December 1912, J. P. Morgan testified before Congress in the so-called Money Trust hearings. Asked to explain how he decided whether to make a loan or investment, he replied, “The first thing is character.” His questioner skeptically suggested that factors like collateral might be more important, but Morgan replied, “A man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom.”
