The “you know what you should do” syndrome of the rich is Royal. Ask a Mighty Mongol. Prussian Prince, Russian Empress or Grand Sheik what they want to do, what wakes them up in the morning and they will say exactly what Howard Schultz, Bill Gates or Elon will say. I want to work hard for the betterment of the human race, and I, by the way, have that special something that makes this possible. Evidence: I am “successful.” My success gives me power to do things like fly my private jet to Ethiopia to fix things for the Ethiopians and then be back home in time for tea. These are King things. A culture that allows some few of its many to become richer than ninety percent of the rest is a monarchy. Is run by Kings and sometimes Queens with lesser but still very wealthy earls and Dukes who pay court, kiss rings, and generally party on with the glittering Royals. They are quite keen on the faint democracy that maintains their status and power, sometimes they even dabble with a run or two themselves: Kennedys. But, above all, the system will maintain them, not because they are nasty selfish or vindictive but because they were born to rule, they are more talented, evidence again: they are “successful.” And we invest in them the emotional attachment instilled in us by Emperors, Nationalists and Popes for centuries. And despite the mewlings of Jordan Peterson etal. Emotional attachments that re not natural to the free.
Enough, and the freedom she allows.
