Gotta love him defining "River" people as loving competition and risk-taking when by and large their empires are built from capturing a market and then preventing competitors from entering it, preventing customers from leaving it, and then extracting as much money as possible from it.

The part I see as accurate is the idea that "River" people just want to win. And for that to happen, they have to perpetuate a world with winners and losers, a system that just makes it easier for those on top to keep taking whatever they want.
