I think this is hard for the majority of us to grasp because most of us will never get to that level of success. Capitalism has everyone so focused on getting the money that they can’t even imagine what it would feel like to actually get it.

I mean, the game monopoly taught a handful of generations just how awful people become when they run the game and someone ends up owning everything after controlling the bank and cheating the whole time. By the end of the game everyone else wants to toss the board game into the air or a fire and end it all.

When you recognize how common it is that sociopaths work their way into power, precisely because they get pleasure from controlling and being cruel to others, a lot of how the world is starts to make sense.

to be a billionaire you have to be a little psychopathic, always involve screwing people over, other business partners, sewing them to get thier IP as your own. or if someone like soros taking advantage of situations.

they do find joy, its to hoard more money, they just dont want everyone else having a piece of the pie, thats why they can get politicians on the payroll all the time,.

I firmly believe that after a certain amount of money there is no longer “joy” in having money and they all have to find something else to get their fix so to speak.

That tracks, since it turned out that all the billionaires get off on raping children.
