Wealth won't buy you sanity,

much less happiness.

The world’s richest man regularly consumed ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms during his rise to political prominence, anonymous sources familiar with his activities told the Times

His drug use reportedly intensified
as he donated $275m to Trump’s presidential campaign. 
He later wielded significant power through his role spearheading the “department of government efficiency”,
or DoGE.

He is one of those joyless people with unlimited wealth, medicated health and depressing paucity of mind and spirit.

meanwhile, in another part of the forest of newsprint,

Azar Nafisi, Iranian-American author of Lolita in Tehran
and Republic of the Imagination,
says she is starting to feel the same fear
that she had in Iran before she fled.
