Why most super rich and politicians don’t stop even when successful
- It is not about “earning” anymore, it’s about that feeling of winning (and not losing)
-it’s about that kick of their ideas turning into reality at scale.
-Fear of Losing Relevance. Once society treats you like a “big man,” the biggest fear is becoming irrelevant.
-Desire of being remembered in the same way after death. Legacy
- compulsion of safety from:
• political changes
• legal vulnerabilities
• economic shocks
• competitors
-addiction
-childhood fears
-false feeling of not having enough. It never ends.
-they want to have a parallel universe.
-stopping feels like dying. Fear of losing it all if slowed or stopped.
They are an ecosystem which creates jobs and economic activity but are highly insecure with stressed lives. They are still one of us!
