When just making money becomes the goal. Not the creation. Not the passion for the work. Not the message to humankind. Not the attempt to bring joy or beauty or thoughtfulness or advancement to people. Just the money. Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.
