Prestige List Of Those Most Stuck In The Matrix

This prestige tier list, which is very much confirmed to be as the gospel truth, is to be read in descending order. As such, one should interpret those in Tier 1 as being the most stuck in The Matrix, with those in Tier 2 being less stuck, and so on and so forth. Without further ado; I present: 

Tier 1: MF PE Partners, F100 CEOs, Billionaires

Tier 2: EB BB MDs

Tier 3: Corporate M&A Lawyers, Surgeons

Tier 4: Accountants

Tier 5: Real Engineers

Tier 6: Software Engineers, Quants, ER Analysts

...

Tier 99: Normies

Tier 100: Females

Tier 101: The Matrix Rulers

Conclusion? Ignorance is bliss; Normies are among the most NOT stuck in the matrix. Fact.
