Most USA citizens have more money than neurons if you evaluate it in different currencies. For example, the median networth in the usa is 92,000$ which is about 127 billion iranian rials
Correct. Division of money into currency units is entirely arbitrary, there are many currencies where a thousand units is a wildly different amount from a thousand US dollars or euros or similar-valued units.
If you're willing to engage with the analogy of dollars as neurons, what do you think the economy is thinking about?
edit: I like this because if you think of monetary exchange as neuron activation then the mega-rich hoarding wealth is the biggest inhibition to the ability of the economy to think properly, since their money doesn't participate.

So if Elon Musk is really a trillionaire, then one man has more money than neurons.

Arguably, that specific man would have more money than neurons even if he was poor

In the end, most people can really be billionaires if they change their mindset!

Hopefully a lot of it would say, "I'm tired of hanging out in the same old crowded places, I'm gonna go where we're few and far between."

Hard to know. The imbalance of neuron distribution in that context is very unhealthy and makes it hard to think
