Why the Most Honest People Are Always Broke – Schopenhauer and the Price of Integrity

Why are honest people broke in a world that seems built for liars and manipulators? In this video, we explore Schopenhauer’s brutally honest view of society — where truth is punished, and deception is rewarded. Have you ever looked around and wondered why honest people broke while others climb the ladder by cutting corners? It's not just bad luck. It's a feature of the system.

We dig deep into the price of integrity — and why those who refuse to compromise often pay with their status, wealth, and peace of mind. From daily life to big systems, the pattern is clear: honest people broke because honesty threatens control.

This isn’t just philosophy — it’s your life. If you’ve ever felt stuck while staying true to your values, this video will show you you’re not alone. Honest people broke, not because they failed, but because the game was never made for them. And perhaps, understanding that is where true power begins — even if honest people broke on the surface.
