Much thank for this session ! Food for thoughts definitely.
On one hand, it is truly tragic and heart breaking to see pathological greedy people dedicate their whole life, each and every moment, to the destruction of others and ultimately themselves. Until nothing is left.
On the other, I can't help but laugh at the absurdity of their thinking and actions. Just like a cartoon show where Wile E. Coyote devise absurd plans in order to catch Road Runner with, every time without fail, absurd consequences detrimental both to his aim and his health. Again, and again, and again. For all eternity.
This STS dynamic, its interaction with Reality, nowadays feels like a Monty Python movie. An eternal absurd tragicomedy. Quite a show to behold if we manage to not get pulled into it.
Q: (L) What is the reason for the chaos?
A: Fear of losing control.
Q: (L) Well, I don't understand. Exactly what do you mean?
(Joe) I was going to say that their fear of losing control has increased in recent years, obviously. But it's been as a result of their own actions, not as a result of anything the people are doing. The people are getting agitated and thrown into chaos because of what's being done to them.
(Artemis) They're shooting themselves in the foot over and over and over again.
A: Greed is a sickness.
Q: (L) And I guess you mean not just greed for money, but greed for power?
A: Yes
