    Their words and actions suggest an approach to life, technology and business that I have come to call “The Mindset” – a belief that with enough money, one can escape the harms created by earning money in that way. It’s a belief that with enough genius and technology, they can rise above the plane of mere mortals and exist on an entirely different level, or planet, altogether.

    they truly believe they exist on different plane from the rest, and that chaos is not their problem… the troubles of the world are something other people have to deal with… they can pay someone to deal with it…

        Yeah I can’t think of any of my problems that would be an issue for a billionaire. The only one we all have in common is probably cancer, death and maybe microplastic ingestion.

        Though they can afford full body scans for cancer and catch and treat it before I even have an appointment after feeling sick for months.
