    As soon as you come into serious money, no matter how exactly, your empathy for fellow human beings goes out the window FAST. There are people who can withstand this and not succumb to it, but they’re exceedingly rare.

    This has been scientifically tested and proven time and again. Mo’ money = less empathy.
