That’s a really good point. It highlights the hegemony of self-interest in contemporary culture. Collectivism has become frail, immobile, even dubious. We are demographics. We demonize one another. We struggle for causes that affect us and ours, and despise people for joining popular social movements. Fatigue turns out to be the limiting factor for compassion, and boy are we tired. I don’t expect I would become a billionaire (…anymore). I imagine that I would be a benevolent one, but fear the gravity pull of such wealth would collapse any good intentions. Capital demands such rigor. I would think that if some some policy or popular uprising made wealth distribution flatter, the billionaires of the world could exhale. The burden to care becomes much lighter when borne by many hands.
