Everyone has to eat, and that takes money. But you can only eat so much, and at some point hoarding money is nihilistic and boring. Do innovative things, otherwise, what’s it all for? The “make money number go higher” mentality ruins everything.

- octoberfranklin 5y agoIt's worse than that. Well-adjusted people get to the point where they have enough money and they switch to doing something other than money-chasing. So in any cohort of people who got rich, the only ones who stay in the chasing-money game past that point are the sociopaths -- the chasing-money game actually selects for these people. Then they end up in charge of the vast majority of the population who do not (yet) have fuck-you money and who play the chasing-money game because they need to eat. I don't know how to fix this. There are a lot of knee-jerk proposals but none of them will work.
