I recall a quote, "Freedom is when you got nothing to lose". When I had
nothing, there was no cost to optimism because almost any change could
lead to more. When I had something, there's a tendency to become
focussed on keeping what I have, and changes usually lead to having
less. However some of the wealthy are intelligent enough to be
dynamically optimistic. Here's a proposed formula:
DO = IQ/$$
