A multi-billion dollar portfolio? For that deep-down satisfaction.

Having $10m is awesome, but having a billion is a huge headache that I wouldn't wish on anyone tbh. When you get over that much, everyone is after you because they want a piece, and managing that never-ending clusterfark ends up becoming your life. From what I understand.

He's got a good point about distinguishing joy from pleasure. Joy pays dividends while pleasure has diminishing returns.

    Wittgenstein: ‘I should not like my writing to spare other people the trouble of thinking,’ he wrote in the preface to the Philosophical Investigations. ‘But, if possible, to stimulate someone to thoughts of his own.’

    Is it selling a well loved piece of property to Disney only to watch them take it apart piece by piece. Destroying the star wars universe in a way Palatine could never manage.

    Could you imagine building that and then watching Disney kill it with sjw trash and communism?

    Yeah, he can tell us how to be happy. Lol. "Take that dog you love and pay someone else to drown it while you watch. Happiness. "

    Fucking idiot.

    Happiness is also being able to sell the same movie to your fans multiple times in the various editions and resolutions.
