It’s also bizarre how many FIRE influencers fit the description of the linked article: Their primary income is related to being some sort of FIRE influencer. They downplay it as much as they can, but it’s impossible to escape the reality that their financial situation is due to peddling financial advice to others. The advice, of course, is always about what other people should do, but it can’t be about how they make their money because that would shatter the illusion.

That's one way to look at it. Another is that the vast majority of people are good.

People are good at self-deception. Good people can still get rich selling nonsense, as long as they succeed to convince themselves first.
