      I don’t think that’s true.

      I think they know the future is bleak, and they just want to have the best bio dome or whatever the case may be.

      As in, they know they’re making things worse, but if they don’t do it someone else will. So in a bleak and shit future, do you want to live like a king, or choke to death like the rest of us.

      It’s a hydra though. If a capitalist leader/billionaire/oil super power abdicates, all available capitalists swarm to fill the vacancy and rake in the power and profits that were given up.

      They don’t care the world is ending due to their greed and corruption, they just want to be rich and powerful.

      Yes, when people get to a certain level of rich, they generally lack vision and imagination; they don’t need it anymore.
