Naked Man Moleskin:
“The people in our culture with enough money to do whatever they want—the sort of objectively immoral benefactor-grade wealth that is currently warping and cheapening our public life through its own obscene scope and its owners’ relentless craven self-interest—seem categorically opposed to doing anything interesting with it. Or, anyway, they seem opposed to doing anything more interesting than watching that money grow and maybe remarking upon how that experience of all that having and watching has been for them. It may be that all that dull abundance has flooded their circuits, leaving them incapable not just of wanting anything but more of what they already have, but unable even to imagine anything else that a person might want. They also just might not care about anything but each other, and their stuff. Because these people and what they want are so determinedly uninteresting, it’s not a very interesting question; because what they do is so strange, it’s natural to wonder if maybe all that money, and all the time spent thinking about it, hasn’t been good for them.”
