Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It’s absolutely mental illness!

    I love seeing someone else get this.

    Money at this scale is just points in a game. It is entirely divorced from value to them, it’s just social status

    The worst part is, they’re not even happy either. Some people do enjoy playing capitalism… But the mental gymnastics you have to do to enjoy min-maxing your labor pool leaves you hollow as a person.

    Everyone you meet is hoping to leech off you, a peer you are competing against in the stupidest game, or someone who doesn’t care about money (and probably looks at you with disgust because your financial existence is literally destroying our species)

    The only happy billionaires are the ones no one hears about - the people who are generationally free of the game and have accepted their ticket out from the start
