Wealth Inequality Explained by… D&D? (Really)

You’re not going to believe this, but Dungeons & Dragons accidentally explains why wealth inequality keeps growing — even when people work hard, play by the rules, and do everything “right.” In D&D, there’s a long-standing idea called linear fighter, quadratic wizard. Fighters improve steadily over time. Wizards start weak, but eventually gain access to abilities that scale exponentially — completely reshaping the game. That same scaling dynamic exists in real life. Labor tends to scale linearly: you trade time, build skills, and maybe earn more per hour — but there’s always a ceiling. Capital scales differently: it produces income without time, compounds on itself, and unlocks entirely new levels of leverage. This video isn’t about blaming workers or demonizing the wealthy. It’s about understanding how different systems scale, and why effort alone can’t overcome structural asymmetries. Once you see the difference between linear and compounding systems, a lot of modern frustration suddenly makes sense — and you can stop mistaking structural limits for personal failure.
