was he some sort of serial killer or something? i really don't know. i imagine he had to be a piece of work to build such an empire, but still, what kind of criminal are we talking about?
anyway, becoming "the best we can be" does not usually come with power and fortune-- traditionally at least, it's renouncing the world and the self that "purifies" the spirit. big egos can do big things, but also have big issues. christians will see those issues as a highway to hell, nietzscheans will see them as the price of greatness. me, i'm a bit agnostic and full of questions.
but think about it. if you get 100 million dollars today, your porn collection might suddenly start to include real people, and nobody is going to be able to stop that. all it takes is an itch that you
can scratch, plus a boundless supplier of scratches, and two years from now you might be an unrecognizable degenerate.
everyone has their dark tendencies. they just need an enabler. no bigger enabler than power, with money a close second.
