Boy I wish we as a society would stop reporting on these sociopathic vampires spouting whatever nonsense just popped into their heads
How would you know that they are sociopathic vampires if no one reported on what they believed in?
By the sheer amount of accumulated wealth.
The only important indicator. Everything else is window dressing.
It actually indicates just how much of a sociopath he is, because we’re I that wealthy I’d sure as hell shut the fuck up and enjoy life.
There's research that shows the process of accumulating so much wealth both selects and creates sociopaths. This is why they're very overrepresented in the upper class. Sure, not all of them are. Maybe you'd be the exception. I also think I'd be the exception but I'm not too confident. :D
psycopaths, to be able to reach that wealth one needs to have those amoral tendancies, ALSO BEING born into wealth or inhertited alot of wealth (like hundreds of millions or more) helps alot to jumpstart that, because you already entitled from being that rich. theres a reason universities like harvard, stanford breed alot elitist graduates.
Exactly because you'd be the exception there's almost zero chance you'd ever get to that point. Most people simply don't have a need to try to become even more wealthy after a certain point.
Like, when all your needs and wants are met, and you still have plenty of money to live that kind of life for the rest of your life, and your family also has enough for a comfortable life... Most people prefer to have less stress, they work less or not at all, or you venture into stuff that maybe makes less money (or none) and you do it for other reasons like altruism or just having fun.
To want to be worth billions takes a completely different character, one that craves as much wealth or power as possible.
In this case we should indeed report on them because it is not much clear to the public what palantir does and they have ties and contracts with the government
