When I say “men without beliefs,” I don’t mean people with no inner structure who are easy to manipulate. I mean people who bracket their personal beliefs at execution time. They act from skill, training, and role, not from ideology in the moment. That detachment is exactly what makes certain professionals so precise – and so dangerous. Far from manipulable drifters, they're adaptable operators unbound by yesterday's ideology.

- What helped you achieve success? - The belief that money itself doesn't matter. - And that's what helped you get rich? - Nah—I got rich when I convinced my minions to believe it.
