    Isn’t the point of working hard so that you can take it easy eventually? These psychos never take it easy, the suffering is the point for them.

      It’s the difference between people who “work to live,” vs. those who “live to work.”

      The latter are borderline sociopaths, at best

      It can be that or it can be the satisfaction of doing useful work well. Venture capitalists don’t do useful work so they don’t know that satisfaction. And they don’t know what else to do but chase money because they lack the capacity to appreciate life as it is and are probably scared to just stop, in case they have to face the void in their heart. Hence their unstoppable, narrow-minded craving for more money.
