Like the first line is Pale white and black with false citrine, cause alchemy was heretical this is actually code for the chemicals used. Like I think pale white is Niter, black is coal or carbon etc.

Too many variables, I agree with the premise but not with many of the implications people like to draw.
The fact is your circumstances (including the body you're born into, the family, the country, the time, and -perhaps most importantly- the economic circumstances,) often do far far more to determine the outcome of one's life than personal choices.
That said I believe for the individual it is best to focus on what YOU can do, whereas for society I think it is best to look at systems rather than blame individuals for their outcomes.

I say True Asante.
you can all blame circumstance for where you end up. I'm holding myself accountable for my standing in life.

All those who vote true, how are you not gold coins yet? It's merely matter of effort.

Just invoking the nazis is not enough. In what sense?
According to Nazi ideology some are born gold and others copper, this cannot change, and the coppers must be cast in the furnace.

I vote true. Im not a gold coin because I lack the motivation the put in the required effort
Per me personally going from silver to polished silver is optimum in terms of cost-benefit

I tend to go through phases of being a goldpiece, and then falling back to being a tarnished silverpiece for a while.
I like the feeling of relativity it provides.

JSB answer makes we question my own anser
I assumed we were discussing material wealth
If you mean being a good person, my answer would be "you probably dont have kids" humans are born as little demons that would choke the life out of their smaller siblings to be the only one receiving attention
Demons I tell you!

A gold and a copper piece are both worth the same practically, if not potentially, if they're buried under a layer ov dust. Yet it is not only the application, but also the circumstances and perception ov their synergy that are ultimately determinate ov value. It is one AND hir circumstances that matter but, yes, Trading Places was a good movie.

Gold, Silver, and Copper.
Which of those do you think has the most practical uses?

Right? it's hard to make this analogy work with material substances. Even shit is useful for something.

Group 11, by modern IUPAC numbering,[1] is a group of chemical elements in the periodic table, consisting of copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and gold (Au).Group 11 is also known as the coinage metals, due to their former usage.

Copper is the lighter homologue of silver and silver is this, of gold.

Quote:
The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of elements, is a tabular display of the chemical elements, which are arranged by atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. The structure of the table shows periodic trends. The seven rows of the table, called periods, generally have metals on the left and nonmetals on the right. The columns, called groups, contain elements with similar chemical behaviours. Six groups have accepted names as well as assigned numbers: for example, group 17 elements are the halogens; and group 18 are the noble gases. Also displayed are four simple rectangular areas or blocks associated with the filling of different atomic orbitals.
To the left, Group 10, Nickel, Palladium and Platinum share the same homologous relationship that Copper, Silver and Gold share, but, in their group.
