    The powerful are shit human beings because shit human beings seek power over others for their own gratification. All of human history the worst people have plotted and killed their way to the top. Capitalism tries to harness that greed but it doesn’t work. Systems need to punish our worst natures, not reward them.

      People like Elon Musk as exactly like the kid in the sandbox who wanted the entire sandbox for himself, and who would fight for all sandboxes in the yard despite not being able to use them.

      That kind of personality will take all until nothing is left.
