      All people are like that. Our brains aren’t built to handle that kind of obscene wealth and power. It would break anyone, just as overindulging in any unhealthy activity.

      The fix is to not let anyone accumulate that level of wealth.

        I’m kind of alright with them accumulating some level of wealth, if the result is that they get a little trophy, a little island, and all their money redistributed. Like, congrats you won, now fuck off and let someone else win too.

          That’s what we just tried (over the past century), when we gave an inch they took the whole god damn country. I don’t think the compromise approach will ever work.
