He had an affair with a married woman and spent his free time attending sex- and drug-fueled parties instead of at home with his two kids and wife. Yeah, he didn't deserve to die, but saying "he didn't hurt anyone" and was "senselessly" (as in, for absolutely no reason) murdered is a ridiculous take. Go read the comments on the Post article I linked to, and see what normal people (as in, not in the SV/VC ecochamber) think about all of this. Spoiler: largely unsympathetic to what they perceive as a rich, hedonistic "techbro" who met an untimely end.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoWhat is the point of fuck you money if not to live a life where the judgement of others can’t touch you? While the unwashed masses might be unsympathetic, the lifestyle enumerated isn’t that far off from your middle to upper class debauchery and coping mechanisms (affairs, recreational drug use, etc). Someone’s husband had their feelings hurt by their partner’s behavior and the death was still senseless.

Material resources only get you that if you are willing to distance yourself entirely from human intercourse, in which case money – whose only purpose is exchange – is not the right form of wealth.
