Comment on Successful People create Religions

Comments

RMS real rich.

He is. He can travel around the world, get up at 1pm and still get a decent breakfast. Ask him about breakfast.

He made a religion but didn't keep himself at the head of it. That's why he's not rich, he didn't capture any value from his creation.

I wouldn't call RMS unsuccessful. But in any case, you're denying the antecedent. "If successful then creates religion" is not equivalent to "If creates religion, then successful".
