He’s a first generation aristocrat who has gone on at length about the right of the powerful to dictate the outputs of the less powerful.
He believes he’s truly unique and above the rest of us, without seemingly considering none of us will lie down and die if an early end should be his fate (I hope it isn’t, of course).
Such a smart guy, I suspect he’d agree there’s no causal link between his existence and the rest of us. He leans on convenient emotional frameworks society has carried along for years.
Oh of course he does a bit of philanthropy to point at. How gracious of him to hand pick those who should have their minds to themselves!
He thinks Elizabeth Warren is dangerous. Says nothing about the doofus in Chief, but the contender with relatively little power. Be afraid of change! It might prove I’m wrong!
The common features of an aristocrat: money and indifference of those without money.
Or at least that’s my take given his writings. Maybe have a peak and see.
You only become first generation aristocrat once there is at least couple more generations. You might like him or not, but he got what he got and not inherited it or gained it from a name.
That’s not what the definition of the word aristocrat is? It has nothing to do with HOW the wealth was acquired. Just that one is a member of the privileged class.
The origin of the word too has nothing to do with how the money is acquired. Just means “member of the elite class”.
It seems you’re attached to a romanticized/nostalgic spin on the term. Not concerned with the actual definition.
