I think one of the most ironic facets of this is that, unlike Buffet or Gates, these men are desperate to be loved by everyone. And yet, for all their wealth and power, they cannot make you love them.
And in a way, that has always been the peasants' superpower. Even in the face of gods. We can refuse to love them. We can refuse to admire them. We can see them for the pathetic, underdeveloped infants that they are - every single one of them.
