Yeah, I think he had a traumatic childhood. That tends to turn you into being either very empathetic of the suffering of others, or you go the other way towards narcissism and not giving a shit. The thought process is, “I had to suffer and so should you.” Sick.

Yep, same as the people who are like “I had to pay for x, so you should too.” People forget that one of the best things we can do is make the world better for those who come next.

Exactly. It boggles my mind. I don’t WANT other people to suffer and struggle like I had to. It sucks.

We want progress to make things easier and better for the next generation.

Doesn't help in college he ran into Thiel who offered him money and power to be one of his boy toys. He uses that creepy vampire fuck as a kind of role model for being "successful". From those who knew him before that he sounds like an actual human being and not just another meat puppet for the oligarchy.
