First one was a jerk. Was used to yelling and intimidating everyone to get his way. The first day I met him, he yelled and me and cussed me out for something I had literally nothing to do with (think, like, a bird pooped on his car). Extremely controlling of his wife. I could tell he viewed her more as a possession and beneath him.
Second one was a great, great guy. Extremely chill, kind, strong moral code, absolutely devoted to his wife. I actually felt kind of bad for him, his wife was often pretty mean to him.
The second one is a good example of how even if you aren't evil if you are famous, rich, or powerful, the hangers-on around you probably are. I went to school with some people who were extremely wealthy (billionaire heirs) or famous, and the people who surrounded them were uniformly terrible, even if the person was ok.

I think this sort of thing is like an addiction. Like, they keep needing more and more (money, sex, drugs) to feel something. And at some point 1-1 relationships seem boring. So, they keep ramping it up because they have everything at their easy access. They need something more extreme to feel something and to feel special/have things others don't have. In no way excusing it, it's horrible, but I don't think these people all start off as bad people. Even look at the first wives and children of some of these folks - seem like normal, decent people. But more recent decisions seem in line with just wanting more, more, more.
Anonymous wrote:Rich: Nearly all. 95+%. You basically have to be exploiting people to be rich. (I assume by rich here you mean net worths of like $10 million + or annual income above seven figures, not just like $500k income good savers or people whose parents left than $1 million).
Powerful: Well, a lot of powerful people are rich. For those folks, see above. For powerful, non-rich people (mostly political power at that point): 50%? Being evil and/or corrupt is a good way to become powerful, but you can also be persuasive and passionate. Thinking about, for example, recent presidential candidates, I wouldn't call Biden, Harris, Romney, McCain, Obama, Clinton, or either Bush "evil" or "corrupt" - even though I disagreed with many of their policies and many of them did pretty shitty things. I actually think you see more evil and corruption in the senate - large numbers there. The House is a mix. Supreme Court - currently a mix, historically majority non-evil/non-corrupt.
Famous: Mostly non-evil. Most of the famous are performers or athletes. I'd actually say most of your non-evil rich people are the famous performers. Musicians, famous sports people, your big influencers. Yeah, a decent amount are evil/corrupt, but less than the above categories. Lots of them got to the top honestly. I'd say 30%?
Overall population evil/corrupt: <5%

No discrimination. It's all religions, all of them

I find it very interesting most of those surrounding Epstein are democrats.

Epstein files’ most recent release reveled: lots of Satanists. As in: numerous Epstein associates actively worship Satan.
Not atheists; an atheist is just an atheist. Atheists deny the existence of Satan just as much as any god.
Epstein’s associates are religiously Satan-worshipers. It is in the newest files.
This makes perfect sense though. No person with a conscience could exploit others on a daily basis needed to make that kind of money / accumulate that much power. Unless:
- unless your belief system was so upside down as to think exploitation was good and a virtue.
Clandestine satanism is probably much more common than we realize.
agree with the bolded and what is clandestine satanism other than the ingrained belief in ones own inherent superiority giving one the right to brutally exploit others. i'd also argue that the idea that there isn't enough to go round and ppl are justified in brutality towards other groups in order to survive when there patently is enough to go around and ppl just need to share & increase their tolerance for "out groups". it doesn't have to be an overt satatan worship- "satanism" is a concept of rejecting the personhood and equality of all peoples.
Anonymous wrote:I think about 70% of all people have deep character flaws that will, with opportunity, lead to evil behavior. Maybe 80%. I think a lot of times it starts as a seemingly small, even harmless, quality. Sometimes it might be something others even appreciate or admire, like over-confidence or an ability to twist situations to their advantage while being charming.
The more powerful a person is, the more opportunities they have to allow these character flaws to do harm. So I'd guess about 70-80% of all rich and powerful people do evil or deeply harmful things. Maybe let's assume that having these sorts of character flaws has a tendency to facilitate the acquisition of money and power, so maybe it's 90%.
But here's the thing:
If you took these people and made them the regional manager of a local grocery chain, they'd pull the same crap. Just on a smaller scale, harming fewer people. Fewer opportunities to do so much evil, but they'll still do *some* evil because even a regional manager of a grocery chain has some power, and people will exploit power.
Some of the worst people I've ever met in my life were small business owners and middle managers. Thank god they aren't billionaires or senators! And yet, also, the people who are billionaires and senators are not very different from them, sadly.
