Man, I disagree. It is within their power to become recluses right now. They can choose to interact with humans as much or as little as they want.
I think it’s more that they want adulation, they believe themselves worthy of it and deserving it. And they want the power of life and death over the masses to gain that adulation.
You are not understanding the situation, the degree to which they are vastly outnumbered is staggering and they must fully understand that if even a small percentage of the general population could organise and mobilise then everything the billionaires have could be very easily taken from them. The idea that they and their families could be overrun at any moment, and with legitimate cause to redistribute wealth, no matter what security or even armies they have in place to protect them must be a constant fear weighing on them. At present the threat is neutralised by propaganda and manipulation of the law and governing powers but that method is an endless juggling act and not wholly reliable, and there are historical precedents for it failing. The obvious solution is a winnowing of the general population down to numbers that could be managed by security measures but for this an alternative workforce must be found.
