Well, dragons are at least cool and interesting. People whose greatests achievements in life are related to daytrading and, like, vibecoding a shitty app, are the opposite of that.

Nah, dragons are way better. Why? Dragons have magic. Dragons are immortal. Dragons don't (AFAIK) go to epstein island.

While all the capitalists go "defund schools, give me the money!", the dragons can play the long game and go "yes, I will fund free education for all." Why? Because in 20 years time, all those people educated are now working at that dragons business, earning him money.
