You linked to specifically to the Self-actualization section which, critically, includes this line: "To understand this level of need, a person must not only succeed in the previous needs but master them"
I would say it is more like a twisted perversion of the hierarchy of needs where all levels are broken down to a single abstraction: Net worth = Score
- gruez 3y agoWhat makes you think all Bezos thinks "Net worth = Score"? What if he simply wants to build the best e-commerence/cloud conglomerate there is, and that happens to coincide with amazon share prices going up? After all, the better job he does at running amazon, the more investors will value it.
- shuntress 3y agoMaybe he doesn't. I have no way to know how he actually thinks. My point is that once a person becomes that wealthy, the practical value of a dollar becomes essentially meaningless to them. Its the idea that more wealth is automatically better. If they just make Amazon more profitable it will be better.
