Imagine looking at the fattest people in the world and thinking, they must know something about food that others don't. Extraordinary. Everyone else knows that

Imagine looking at the fattest people in the world and thinking, they must know something about food that others don't. Extraordinary.
Everyone else knows that gluttony is bad, not good.

- lapcat 1y ago> leftist discourse You jump to political labels awfully fast, based on a mere two sentences. > pretending not to understand things I'm not pretending anything. I also don't think I'm misunderstanding here. > thus making discourse impossible. You replied to me, so apparently discourse is possible. Let me add to the discourse: I think our fundamental difference is that you view massive wealth accumulation as success, whereas I view it as failure. It's reasonable for any person to want material goods, e.g., food, clothing, shelter, even entertainment, as well as some measure of security. However, at some point, a normal person is satisfied with their personal wealth. If you're never satisfied, always need more, more, more without limit, that's a psychological problem, and possibly a social problem too.
- idiotsecant 1y agoYou have a strong emotional connection to the idea that rich people are rich because they're strong and wise. All the arguments you're making in this thread are post hoc justifications for this belief, which simply isn't supported by reality.
- jdmoreira 1y agoSome of them are wealthy because they are the best at playing the wealth game (and got lucky along the way). Why does everyone care about Cristiano Ronaldo? Being the best at kicking a ball is the stupidest skill there is (IMHO). at least becoming wealthy is a game that correlates with skills I care about.
- lapcat 1y agoI hate to break it to you, but Cristiano Ronaldo is a billionaire.
