Like @cstrossCharlie Stross , I’ve only been realizing very late that extremely rich people are necessarily crazy.

It’s logical: non-crazy people will, at some point, hit the "more money than enough even for my craziest fullfilling dreams".

People who are still destroying their social/ecological environment for more money above that level are, obviously, crazy. And dangerous.
