I’m not being hyperbolic here, in my experience with the super rich there area few common things:
1. They don’t have to do anything they don’t want to so generally have a relative lack of empathy
2. just a few notches above average intelligence but are rarely “genius”
3. They live in mental/emotional bubbles and almost never spend time with “regular” people doing things like shopping, cooking, sitting in traffic or using the infrastructure that unwashed use
That means they can think far enough in the future about “macro“ trends (which don’t really exist), while also fucking over everybody in the process because they don’t have to even experience any of the “externalities” that their actions take.
They see themselves as kings and better educated, more traveled, more cosmopolitan etc… so it’s purely ego
