Billionaire oligarchs like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, crossing a certain wealth threshold (around $10 or $20 billion) puts them above the rest, a cut above, in a class of their own, privileged, private, pampered and and spooned to , s off distinction in a class of their own. a social "different zone" or "different world", or more accurately perhaps, a different social class. The Epstein Class.
The speaker, Timothy Snyder, claims that in this realm, their "sense of what's meaningful touches on the fantastic".
According to Snyder Donald Trump is an aspirational billionaire who has never acted or evidenced patriotic or in sympathy of anyone. His worldview really believes soldiers are fools if they die for a cause, irrespective of their conviction or convention. To him war is just another tool to exploit for financial gain. After a life of never being denied any demand, but always being snubbed by his peers for his manner, his habits, his friends, and the way he leers at women and girls. Now he has the might and the money to revenge himself on everyone that ever made fun of him or his heirs, who sneered or snickered behind his back, everyone that denied him, despised him, slighted, cheated or reviled him and his endeavours.
It is interesting that Snyder shares examples that evidence the extent of the delusion, blind spots and gaps in Trump's worldview without suggesting any cause. Although I suppose the cause of a damaged, ill informed, traumatised, deluded or warped reality is immaterial to the fact that their worldview is lacking. It is worth mention that a fair number of Trump's Cabinet have been rumoured to harbour deeply disturbing and accused of seriously deranged social behaviours not the worst of which Authoritarianism paedophilia and sexual deviance that seem to be particularly prevalent. But now that I think of it many of the behavioural anomalies amoung Trump's cabinet members, and his social circle and friendships fit the broken reality worldview cause, be that functional illiteracy or due to traumatic, inherited or multigenerational factual obfuscation. The causes of fractured worldviews are legion, yet the remedy that would restore our our inadequate point of view is the same for all of them, a therapeutic intervention that embody a quintessential quality we share with the living biosphere, a principle that predicate the provenance of our evolution, the purview of the past, the ever changing present we collectively manifest, and the means to live life to the brim without any proprietary or fudiciary assistance, regardless of circumstance and irrespective of our race, sex, gender, culture social class or creed.
The cause with apparent similar symptoms, abberant behaviours and mental malaise rife amoung Trump and his entourage is Sociopathy, correct to DSMIII DIAGNOSIS. His social circle, friendships and cabinet suffer a warped and broken worldview due to a novel genetic expression shared by? 12% of the global population. People that will never fit in the nature of creation and the principles that mat manifest change mainly because they don't know what it feels like to live life well, never knew how to play or have fun, how to love, or grieve, never felt pride, wonder or awe.
A worldview that persist regardless. Maybe if people with narcissistic and emotionally stunted mental pathology are treated with therapeutic flowstate induction they may get better?
