But when the question is “what is so good about hoarding wealth?” and then it goes on to equal that to hoarding newspapers, the answer is “because you can do a lot more with money than with newspapers”.
Maybe if the hoarder with the most money wants a peaceful society otherwise it most definitely can’t.
But the older I get the more I think a peaceful society isn’t possible at all. People are just to different and everybody wants others to understand them while not being willing to understand someone else.
Peaceful isnt a state its something to strive for. Peacefulness will always change but the point is to always attempt to make it more peaceful. Unless there is some other factor that should be overcome.
Billions of dollars isn’t useful. They can’t possibly spend all their money in their lifetime even buying megayachts and shit.
Completely flawed logic.
Just because you can’t spent all in your lifetime doesn’t mean it’s useless in your lifetime.
They spent the money to shape the world in their image. They don’t have to stress about food or shelter, and so on and so on.
How is that not useful?
Because they could do that as millionaires. The hoarding comes from the excess.
Flawed logic again.
Just because they could do it als millionaire doesn’t make it not useful as billionaire.
Quite the opposite, as more money means more power. And more power is more useful.
Useful for who? Isn’t it a well known heuristic that more money/power doesnt always improve your own quality of life?
At this point you have to be willfully ignoring what I’m saying so what’s the point of continuing this?
No point. Go on. My position is my position.
Look, billionaires are hoarders. Just because money is useful doesn’t make them not hoarders.
I agree.

Nobody asked that question.
It is literally the title of the post.
The title is rhetorical.
Omg thats exactly what is horrendous. How can society exist peacefully if its always contorting itself to some hoarders will?
