What is the mindset of the ultra rich?
What do they need all that money for? For what purpose? They have more money than they can will ever be able to use in their lifetime on whatever luxuries they want. Yet they'll really only ever spend that money trying to make even more money so they can spend that trying to make even more money too.
What is all this for?

Incremental game IRL
It's different for each person but generally comes out to
- Addiction - Power is addicting and seeing the number keep going up is a game that's hard to give up. It's not *real* work in any sense, they mostly just hang around maybe occasionally do a zoom meeting or whatever but it's very mild. Gives the satisfaction of completing a job without the stress and fatigue.
- Desperate for approval/status - This is the category the likes of elon musk would fall into. Basically just an insecurity and wanting to be number 1 to make up for that.
- Genuine interest in something - Probably the guy that makes steam would fall into this where people just get autistically obsessed with some company or idea and keep doing it.

He wanted to be friends with the students in a way, but I think he was just lazy because he didn't even want to be a teacher in the first place but life brought him to that point. He really respected me for being, I guess autistic and different? I'm pretty sure he was a pedophile, but that's just a thought.
And when I talked with him about certain topics he threw around some "Eh, I think it depends on your perspective/It's all relative" like a pretentious retard. He also smoked weed and sometimes came high to school. That made me never want to try weed in my life.
Sorry for the off-topic blogposting but that question reminded me of him.
