capitalism is that thought experiment where pushing a button gets you $10,000 but kills a stranger and every CEO on earth is mashing that shit like they're someone's kid brother playing Street Fighter

the weird thing is, "money" doesn't even mean the same thing to them as it does to me or you we live in a world of bills, rents, debts but $50 million vs. $5 billion makes almost no difference lifestyle-wise, it's just numbers in a ledger but they all understand, reflexively, that it's *POWER*

it's also 100% the marshmallow experiment, where you tell a CEO he can either make the stock valuation bounce 200% this quarter and he gets $20m, OR he can make the stock valuation rise 200% over the next 20 years and he gets $650m over those 20 years. they will take option a without fail
