I hate to admit this but it seems life and society is only worth it if there is division, there is hierarchy and there is distance (“pathos of distance” as Nietzsche says) between different social classes.

The nuance:

You can be poorer, but more elite than someone who is very rich (but enslaved to his or her job).

For example if you’re a consultant earning $500,000+ a year but you have no control over your own life, you’re just a very rich (low class) slave.

Money is nothing to us. Instead it is about personal freedom and autonomy over our life, freedom to think, sleep, nap, challenge preexisting dogma and to plumb new sources of knowledge and to share that knowledge and wisdom with others!
