(454 posts)Can't seem to justify wealth gathering past a certain point. I mean, okay, so maybe you've grown to love hookers, just all the sex and beautiful call girls you could want. 20 mil at most and your set to visit the bunny land ranch or hire as many call girls/boys as you could possibly every need in a life time.
Or, in another sense think of it like temperature, once you have the thermometer passed 100, does it matter too much how much higher it goes, its already TOO BLOODY F'ING HOT!
As to society, once your wealth gathering has reached a point that your basically a threat to the rest of the group by virtue of your wealth and influence, it becomes a problem. At least a Feudal Lord had a kind of Stewardship contract with the people and the land. These people have more wealth, power and influence than the land barons of the Middle Ages and yet have none of the social responsibility, none of the expectations, and none of the duties.
Its a cell in a body gone rogue, I.E. Cancer.
