It also does not illustrate what motivates a billionaire. It just makes their behaviour seem totally irrational which does not do you any favours.
It is irrational but the same sort of irrational everyone is. Monkey need to survive winter so monkey stocks up on food/resources. Monkies never needed a ceiling for this behavior as there was never enough food. Now you have apes with a billion winters worth of stockpile yet that voice in their heads is still as loud as ever.
No, I think you’re mistaken. I don’t think they feel that way at all. I think billionaires keep going because they are competitive. They want to win! And they often lose unfathomable amounts of money in the process, which they don’t care about. Survival brain does not shrug off huge losses so casually.
The other reason they keep going is because they want power. They’re used to being in charge and they hate when others have power over them. They’re subject to all kinds of scrutiny and they’re afraid when political power is leveraged against them. So they do what comes natural to them: try to leverage what they have for more power (and more wealth, which brings more power with it).
Dare I say it: you two are possibly both correct. Human behavior is complex and multifactorial. More than one or two drivers can influence behavior.
