“I could be drinking Mai Tai’s with naked supermodels but instead I’m here with you!”
Pretty much. So is he “alpha”? Why would I care anyway? Someone who says the following with a straight face to an employee:
“I could be drinking Mai Tai’s with naked supermodels but instead I’m here with you!”
This is what all those money-addicted morons have in mind when not working … Yet, as Gómez Dávila wrote:
The most precise and shortest definition of a true civilization has been given by Trevelyan: A leisured class with large and learned libraries in their country seats.
This is what men of high culture would actually do with their time; yet we have to suffer such shallow fools. (That he is also a sex addict goes without saying.)
From the article linked above:
“[…] Musk wanted to call the next Tesla car the Model E because he wanted the letters of their models to spell S-E-X — the previous model was called S. It turned out Ford had the trademark for the Model E so they called it the Model 3 instead. […]”
At least a little bit of justice prevails, but it is still abhorrent what one has to endure nowadays.
More disgust brilliantly formulated by Gómez Dávila:
It turns out it is impossible to convince a businessman that a profitable activity can be immoral.
Modern man’s life oscillates between two poles: business and sex.
The businessman’s greed surprises me less than the seriousness with which he satisfies it.
