    Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We can’t imagine what it’s like to be that obscenely wealthy. Logic would state that it works the other way too. They have very little concept of humanity in general. You and I would be the same if no one in the world could tell us “no”. It’s a form of psychosis, in my humble opinion.

      That’s… weird to think about.

      He probably thinks he’s generally a “good” person, and making the world a better place, buy just that people misunderstand him. That’s wild. Fuck I really want to know to what extent he actually believes this.

      I guess being a billionaire would be quite isolating. It might feel like you’re the only member of your species. There’s primitive monkeys you can interact with and some of them pretend to like you, but none of them really feel you or care about you.
