How do you tell if someone is old money and naive, or just autistic and old fashioned?
/biz/ related because some people literally live in a different world due to their inherited wealth. And some are just space cadets.

If someone inherited 1 million dollars and is worth 10 million today, take them seriously.
If someone inherited $0 and is worth $ 1 million, take them seriously.
If someone inherited $10 million and is worth $10.1 (or 9) million, write them off as a fool.
if you're smart, it's pretty easy to tell who is smart.
Listen to what people say, not how they say it, or who it comes from.
If a homeless guy is saying things that you as a smart person, know to be true, then listen to them- they might say some stuff you don't know.
Now, 100% of homeless people aren't smart, so that's a bad example, but you get it.
Typically, poor people tend to be poor for a reason, so it's safe to write off their opinions as worthless

Only if said poor person is older than 30 and poor.
Everyone needs a good bullshit detector. It's as simple as that. Bullshit can come in any form from anybody, and I don't think there are any good "rules" about who not to trust and who to trust by default -- in fact, the only rule might be to trust nobody until they earn it.
Probe their knowledge.
Pretend to know nothing about a subject you are very fluent in and have them explain it. If they cannot explain basic concepts on a level simple enough for someone pretending to be a beginner to understand then they know nothing about the subject.

But that's not because of racism, that's because he refuses to work and can't write a resume/hold an interview for shit.

sure there are, just very specific situations

I mean, if you are 26 and living in rural china, yes you have an excuse.
Born in USA? no excuse

Please maybe if you dropped the herbs and didn't talk like 50 cent someone would hire you
