The unfortunate aspect of what you are positing is that we cannot capture the opportunity cost of Munger’s actions, and so therefore your argument cannot be disproved. As a corollary, I also wonder if Bill Gates’ shepherding of his personal charities is actually any better than the alternatives. Lionizing ultra-capitalists represents an opportunity lost for a more wholistic and democratic economic system. Glad you found someone to motivate you to work smarter.
