That unfortunately makes a lot of sense. And it makes for a larger number of complete personal failures on an epic level. As if having mountains of money was a worthwhile goal, compared to, say, working on your skills of seeing reality or having good ethics.

Well, the desire to have more "gold" or "game tokens" (which is valid modern equivalent, agreed), is probably as old as the invention of any money-like thing that scales well enough. This desire is also utterly destructive if not kept in check.

Personally, I do not get this. Money only gets value when you spend it. And what you can actually spend is limited as long as you do rational spending. Also fits in with the now very well verified research result that money does not buy you happiness. The sweet spot seems to be around $75k ... $100k income per year in the west. I cannot imagine how unhappy people like Musk or Trump must be...

Come on, you too now? There are a lot of immature people here, but you and me are generally not among those.

For reference, the USSR is a case where that happened before. There are others. It causes upheaval, a lot of people get crushed, but overall things continue to work and that is what I am saying here. This is macro-level, not detail level. You usually get that.
