Oh how disappointing. You're making it about me. I don't matter. Nor does my writing style. We had the chance to discuss an important philosophical idea. I guess a good way to be "less wrong" is never to venture much :) FWIW I think people are less comfortable expressing fear (which in our culture we think sounds weak) than "hate", which seems more active on face value. There are a few things we can fear and love, like roller-coaster rides, tigers or beautiful poisonous flowers. But usually fear and hate cluster together more strongly as emotions. I think the core reason people hate billionaires is they bypass democracy and accountability. You have to be a bit crazy to make or keep excessive money, so that makes them unpredictable and dangerous.
