This is something that has been bothering me for quite a while.
I must admit. I found inspiration to write it after reading this post from MJ on Elon Musk’s recent ‘behaviour’.
Link here:
What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?
But this was just a trigger.
Do you know Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Or Warren Buffet?
Or Bill Gates?
Or George Soros?
Of course you don't (or you do).
Either way they are multimillionaires / billionaires.
What I have noticed is, they have allowed themselves to release brain farts in volumes, that made me think they had lost touch with reality (at least temporarily, great excuse, I lost it, did something horribly wrong, but only for a second, so I am excused...).
"Reputation is like china, once broken it's never well-mended" - Abraham Lincoln
One of my greatest idols, and the ‘biggest’ bodybuilder of all time. Arnold Schwarzenegger. One of the greatest figures of business, sports, entertainment etc… He ripped one like this:
"“if you work hard
and you play by the rules
this country is truly
open to you.
You can achieve anything."
but did he get to where he is
playing by the rules? Or would
he have ever even been famous
had he not taken
those drugs?”
That’s from a movie “Bigger, Stronger, Faster” (recommended watching). The transcript here:
Bigger Stronger Faster Script - transcript from the screenplay and/or the steroids movie
Another one let out by Arnold when I saw his FB profile and he was writing something about clean energy… The guy who got Hummer adapted to civilian application, who has driven ‘tanks’ and flying jets solo………….. While I admire all who want to better our world. I don’t like people advocating one thing (ban steroid, suppress ‘unclean’ energy consumption) and using the opposite to achieve their goals.
This one was from another thread I cannot find now. Mark Zuckerberg promoting open society:

Zuckerberg Wants An Open Society; Just Not Within His Own Company
While building physical walls in his real life:
Mark Zuckerberg is building a wall, and Hawaiians aren't happy about it
The last, but not least.
Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and the likes advocating some ridiculous policies, while benefiting from the complete opposite state.
Doug Casey’s Two Days with the Real and Wannabe Elite - International Man
To summarise.
Do you want to know my answer?
Because I am not omnipotent, I will reach out to mathematics, not to consume more of your time and space here.
Statistically speaking, the number of assh*les and assh*lness in every population should be in balance, according to normal distribution.
But the impact/influence/misery you can ‘apply’ to the world when having 5$ and BN5$ is completely different, isn’t it?
What is your opinion?
