"The exercise of power is not a simple enjoyment for members of the leisure class: it represents their only means of life, and it depends completely on social status and credibility." https://eltipicostahlblau.wordpress.com/2020/07/11/the-leisure-class-techno-conspirators-and-the-leftovers/ … by @Stahlblau4
It's existential too. When you have enough control over your world you have to constantly do 'stuff' to make your world feel 'alive'. VS if you had less power your world would constantly be intruded on with both good and bad. Sterile lab vs walk in nature.
