1% of the human population has what, north of 80% of the world's money? If that's not some form of tyranny worthy of criticism, then I don't know what is.
Most good fortune in the world comes down to luck and help of literally everyone else. Not wanting to share that wealth comes down to pure greed, ego, and ignorance.

- achillesheels 5y agoPrey tell, how is Michael Dell or Steve Wozniak a tyrant? And do you consider yourself lucky or unlucky in life? Your handle suggests the latter. I can attest I do not wish to share my wealth with those who are cynics ;) does that make me a bad human? Does it make me a bad human that I choose to cultivate myself further, exacting greater human flourishing in the process? Am I lucky to do so, or am I determined to do so? And how is society not benefiting from my greater efforts at being human, which necessarily implicates more integration with my fellow race?
- AnimalMuppet 5y ago> Prey tell... In this context, that's an interesting typo.
- achillesheels 5y agoBeasts of prey are self-sufficient animals. But certainly not all those with money are avaricious?
