    I see a lot of wealthy men through work, and it’s their hubris imo that makes them miserable. It feeds their narcissism, confirmation bias, and survivorship bias. Thus, you get EXTREMELY weird convictions that are not based in reality. But there’s no one to keep them in check. They feel like, “Well, I have millions of dollars, which is obviously because I’m special. I’m special because I’m the smartest guy ever. I should never consider anyone else’s thoughts because I’m the one who got me here.” And bam, that’s the basis of the anti-education movement in the wealthier people. And if they show even a shred of humility, it’s seen as “bad.” Lol, we are fucked
