"This is the cocaine trade"

I am reading a non-fiction nowadays called "I am the market. How to smuggle cocaine by the ton and live happily"; by Luca Rastello. 

Even though we all understand and know it - somewhere in our heads at least - ( anybody with reasonable amount of IQ would i guess) and its worth repeating here:

'Anybody worth Something would not let you measure their worth!'

The more i read, this is what i understand - Common people are foolish, absolutely in the dark and nothing of what we learn in school, professional institutes, specialized trainings etc is really worth in comparison to what is taboo and illegal. The proponents of law are the ones who jump, skip and hula-hoop all over their fodder! How foolish of 'us' the commoners!
