    YOU - "You should invest in a youth centre."

    MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "A youth centre, huh? What kind of youth centre?"

    CONCEPTUALIZATION - Come on. Tell him what he wants to hear.

    YOU - "One dedicated to instilling liberal economic values in children from low-net-worth families."

    MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Brilliant! Without children who'll be there to buy stuff in the future?"

    YOU - "Yes. And if it doesn't work out, we can always re-purpose the centre as a shopping mall or private equity firm."

    MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "When life closes a door, it opens a window, yes? What's the expected return on this?"

    YOU - "Highly educated, work-ready, human capital ready to be directed toward any number of your vast interests."

    MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Very impressive. You've got a natural eye for unusual investment opportunities."

    When it comes to Bill Gates' eugenics shit and making public schools even worse, yes, I'd rather he didn't.
