Are there truly folks “above” money? I believe so.
But not a single one is or wants to be in the public light. Ever.
The same drive that lends someone to desire public attention, also drives the want of money.
So if there’s a public statement about “oh, I don’t care about money. I’m just going to give it all away.” I smell bullshit. Sounds more like trying to gain sympathy purchases.
Nothing against dwarf fortress or these guys. But I’m sick of the tech high and mighty bullshit that everyone’s good saints with no desire of money. The more someone says they’re good little Boy Scouts, the more dirty they are.

- jerguismi 8y agoThey most definitely aren't dirty, but also there is nothing dirty in wanting money. Practically everyone needs money to survive, and if you want to have more money than just survive I don't think there is nothing wrong with that, if you acquire that money ethically.
