      When you’re that rich, there are things that matter more than more money. Money is good, but more important is power, respect, etc.

        i don’t think you get that rich without your entire brain being rewired to treat money AS power, respect, etc.

          Maybe. But, that doesn’t mean that you look at a commencement speech to pump up AI stocks. It’s more likely that you look at that kind of a speech as a way to prove to the world how smart and influential you are.

        They want more of everything. They want more power, more respect, and more money. They want it all. They want everything.

        They’re hungry ghosts, they just want more and more forever and ever to fill the empty screaming void at the core of their being.
