> 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.
