    Because the kind of brain that thinks “I deserve all this money” is broken, and not even close to resembling the brain that thinks “I should use the extra money I have to help others”

    The two things are incompatible. Shit, I wouldn’t even feel comfortable showing my face to employees who don’t earn close to what I take. I’d be too ashamed that I’m essentially stealing from them since I’m not doing to work of 20 people (let alone 150,000) by myself.

    The brain that doesn’t have that shame doesn’t even think about others, unless it’s in the context of “how can I exploit this”

      By divine right it’s theirs. That’s just how it is. They’re winners, there has to be losers, sucks to be you.

      They really don’t invest much thought into it. They can’t.
