You know nothing about me, yet you assume everything. I think having that much money is egregious and I am certainly not envious of people who have an endless void to fill, let alone those who aspire to be like such people. My life is quite full, thank you very much.

I think it's a bit ridiculous that these individuals feel the compulsion to min-max their capital at the expense of pursuits that could better be fueled by it, specifically for the collective good. I think it is shameful behavior and not something we should be promoting in society.

The irony of saying that I know nothing about you while saying that you know that billionaires have an endless void to fill, and think that billionaires are simply running on the compulsion of min-maxing capital instead of min-maxing the results of their capital.

Shameful and obvious envy. You're not fooling anybody because your comments betray you

  • I've met a few and they have all been solely focused on maximizing their wealth with little consideration for the second+ order effects. It's anecdotal, but I'll take first hand information over self-serving comms-fodder.

    Speaking of comments, I've seen yours on here. So much hate; so much toxicity. What exactly are you contributing here beyond discord? Maybe get your own demons in check and stop projecting.

      Well I'm not on here very much and don't comment very much but sure I'll give this a shot:

      The rejection of populist ideas that have pushed many into celebrating political violence and death. Want examples?

      The rejection of the vicious cycle of envy that has been brewing in these comments and other platforms like this one that is the path that directly leads to above.
