      It is, by & large, mental illness. You’ve got people who exist well outside of the norm who help to make everything run. Doctors, firefighters, CEOs, just to name a few off the top of my head…I remember reading a whole list of occupations with higher rates of mental illness, psychopathy. And I thought yeah, that makes sense. These people are atypical in behavior, nature. That’s what makes them better suited for the task.

      Not all freaks are homeless on the street corner; this world runs on freaks. Innovates using freaks. We need freaks…carefully applied in their field, of course.

      It’s also proof that there wouldn’t be major negatives from a wealth tax. These guys love working, it’s not about the money, they all say it. So, let them keep working, but give their earnings to people who need it.

      That was my first thought. Why the fuck do ceos get a pass for making their mental shit everyone else’s problem? When I do that, I get an expensive trip to the psych ward.
