minus-squaresunzu@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoYou are assuming that people become corrupted after they obtain wealth instead When there is another example that is just as feasible, ie they obtained wealth because they are corrupt. There is really no way to know which one is true either. So passing one or the other as a maxim is disingenuous. While I do agree with final conclusion, the premise you lead with doesn’t hold to scrutiny.
