Nine Causes of Losing Wealth — None Is "Lacking the Right Tool"

The Buddha listed nine causes of wealth-loss: royal oppression, theft, fire, flood, natural decay, debt, enemies, wasteful heirs — plus the ninth: impermanence. No "lacking the right tool." No "tool not good enough." In the Buddha's causal framework, "tool" simply doesn't exist as a variable. AI trading losses aren't on the causal chain.
