And then they become adults and find different ways to mess with people, hire bodyguards, expensive lawyers, group up with other corrupt people who find joy in people suffering, shit in their diapers under their suit, etc.

That's what that interstellar object recently seen flying into our solar system is all about. Maybe it won't be that bad being the pet of some upper middle class giant cockroach alien family.

What's your prediction for our successors? Aliens? AI bots? Apes? What if we are the aliens that succeded the previous race? That could explain why our sun is so damaging to us.

It would be great to think one day society would reward good people more often but we are still crawling to that goal

Zuckbot seems legitimately happy now after being less involved with the company and pursuing personal goals

I think it's a combination of power corrupts as well as corrupt people seek power but yes it only gets worse the higher up you go. Lots of people want financial stability so it's of course a competitive environment which invites dirty tactics.

Depends, if you were in a b-class then you have about as much aura as a prius. But if you were in a g or s-class you are without a doubt superior to that peon in the pontiac sunfire that's somehow still running.

I do find that a lot of "bully" type people seem miserable, angry, combatative. That's likely what drives their lack of empathy though, they don't care about hurting others because they think in some roundabout way that if everyone is upset then it's fair. There are a lot of reasons why some people justify the way they live and a lot of them will never willingly change.

Yes karma is cause and effect but a lot of times the effect won't happen without human intervention to force it into reality. I would describe that more as social structure or framework. Tomato potato

I want nothing from you other than your social security, bank cards and pins, credit card information, medical information, your first born, your shoe size, favorite color and why, as well as your third born

I believe in consequences of your actions of course, but I don't believe there is some kind of cosmic scale balancing right and wrong. Maybe there is but that's quite an assumption to make. Lots of old rich men and women end up in that cycle of trading partners in like leased vehicles. Some people don't care so much for companionship as much as they care about vanity. Sad, yes, but who am I to dictate how some people find happiness.

Seems condescending to assume I think that belief makes me "smart". I'm speaking on my experience, that's the only experience I have. I don't appreciate you trying to make me out as some kind of angsty teen rebel.

I went to business school and worked in corporate for a while, I know our experiences are anecdotal but the ones I know that climbed the corporate ladder the best are the ones who have family connections and/or lie the best. They do come across as charismatic, charming, friendly, because that's what works.

If it comes down to a promotion or raise though, they're obviously not likely to voluntarily give it to someone else who may be more deserving. As a business owner I'm know sure you know when companies get larger, people end up being faceless cogs of the machine and the C suite is more concerned with hitting targets for shareholders.

Most people are selfish and amoral. When people like that encounter a decent person, they will do what they can to silence them so they aren't given the chance to expose corruption.

You probably don't like most people because most people are walking sacks of shit who would throw you under the bus if it means benefiting themselves
