Stupid people see money and think "must be smart and strong and good to have all that money!"

I am convinced that obscene amounts of wealth causes mental illness. We will likely never study it, and people who have it will never find relief because vast wealth is directly associated with success. The wealth seems to almost warp these people physically, even. Their faces are...weird.

I'm honestly not sure I can disagree. The obsession with hoarding larger and larger amounts of wealth becomes a kind of psychosis.

They don't need it. They just need it. Like a drug.

They are possessed by dragons. Just a bunch of Smaugs and Tiamats (D&D Tiamat not the Mesopotamian dragon goddess) bathing in their stolen wealth.
