This is all my own opinion and observations. Feel free to disagree:

Rich people are like all of us. They constantly feel this absence that they can't quite fill with material things, no matter how hard they try. They just have a lot of money to try more and more of those things. It's like compulsive gambling. The next spin will be the jackpot, I just know it!

The problem is they have too much money and don't know when/how to enjoy what they already have. Eventually, the dopamine they get from new and shinny things wears thin and they need to find more or something new to get it again.

Why do you think their current objectives are aimed at dismantling society and regression to earlier eras? They've gotten to a point where nothing makes them happy so they think society is the reason. They also want regression because many of them have fond memories of their childhood and associate the time period with those pleasant feelings.

Unfortunately, the problem is in their head. We're all just along for the ride. Even if they are successful at tearing down society, and even if they somehow come out of that time on top, it won't last. Then they'll die having destroyed the planet and countless lives chasing a fictitious world comprised entirely of a fleeting hormone in their brain.

People on their deathbeds often cite similar regrets of focusing on shit that doesn't matter, while letting the things that do matter wither away. It's why I don't like to participate in a lot of the same things, at 40, that my peers do, and why I never have. I enjoy the journey and don't feel there was ever a destination. It's why the attitudes of some with power upset me. I don't want to be a part or their sickness, yet like most of you, I have no choice.

I hate it here.
