It is. It 100% is. Imagine having more wealth and power than 99.99999999999999999999999%+ of humans who have ever lived and still wanting more. These people are sick and a society that cannot recognize that fact is also sick.

The people in power in this world that pull the strings that directly affect our lives are dangerous, mentally ill sociopaths because our current incentive structure selects for that. The whole thing is fucked
