I just don’t understand this. I mean, I can comprehend the facts, and I acknowledge that it’s true, but I don’t get it.
I don’t understand how something so nauseatingly reprehensible can be alluring, especially on such a large scale. I could almost grasp it if we were talking about a weird, rare kink… but we’re not. It’s way too common, and an open secret among too many people. How can so many people be so incredibly depraved, or even look the other way, when such awful, nightmarish things are happening?
All I can do is shake my head and think to myself “people are fucked up, man.”
My theory is that people naturally want things they can’t have. For the wealthiest people, there aren’t many things that are elusive. Epstein provided a venue to access something that wasn’t easy to get, something exclusive.
The other thing is how huge amounts of money affect a person’s mind. In order to justify hoarding that much wealth, you have to ignore the humanity of other people. And if other people (especially those without wealth) don’t mean anything, it’s easy enough to justify the abhorrent things they’ve done to them.
Wealth hoarding is bad for everyone, including the hoarders.
After just reading the first paragraph, I was thinking “categorizing children as ‘something you can’t have’ is still too extreme”, but then you went on to explain dehumanizing others. Together, that makes the best explanation I’ve seen!

Absolutely, and wealthy people having less empathy is something that can be seen in studies.
