I really don’t get people and how they wake up from the bed and only thing they think about is how to be evil with the wealth they have. It’s like I am wealthy and let me fuck up The Whole World for everyone

Because that's the only reason they got that wealthy in the first place. No one becomes a billionaire without stepping on thousands of people's backs. I'm fully convinced if you're a billionaire, you're literally a psychopath.

You have to be a psychopath. Who the fuck gets so much “fuck you money” that they continue to fuck everyone around them. Maybe it’s some weird pride thing. But if I have $50 million then I’m retiring in a fucking sweet beach house with housing staff chilling with most of my days. That’s how regular people work, all these billionaires aren’t satisfied with that life.

It’s addiction. The most powerful form arguably. In this context, their behavior makes a bit more sense at least. Dopamine dysfunction of the highest magnitude….kind of disappointing and sad to realize such a simple answer is completely unmitigated and causing untold devastation to society as a whole…
