This is false. Most rich people don't want to get away from every single human. (if they did they can find plenty of places to backpack). They want to get away from a few crazy people who stalk them.

- bluGill 10mo agoThat is a direct quote from the article, and thus cannot be a non-sequitor. It is used in reasoning and means the whole is standing on something false. You may decide the analysis is correct anyway, but it is fare to stop everything right there since there is a logic flaw.
- cousinbryce 10mo agoSounds like you’ve failed to “…get away from every single human being that doesn’t have to be nice to you”
- bluGill 10mo agoWhatever - I don't think many rich care about getting away from people in general. Most of them don't really care, and many of them like other people in general. The point of being rich can be the luxuries you can buy, a point system, buying a better afterlife, or any of hundreds of motivations. I'm sure some care about getting away from other people, but to say that is the point is false.
