Disadvantages of wealth:
overengagement with manfactured, highly processed material things
underengagement with nature
need to transform, contain, and own that which the wealthy person admires, when it results in the loss of the admired attributes of the thing now possessed
overengagement with possessions as expressions of self-worth
belief that non-wealthy are lazy and dependent
inauthentic, mediated entertainment experiences
inauthentic, mediated "daily life" experiences
need to physically isolate from majority of human population
need to hoard or have sole access to things the wealthy person admires
disgust for natural "frailty" of physical self
unconscious delirium induced by the singularity of the experience of extremely exceptional wealth
