Despite the critiques that is something worthwhile I can understand, maybe there is a time in your life you want to be involved in something big, but not 100% like you were at your prime you have the opportunity to do it, so why not. You remain engaged. I prefer seeing that than doing nothing of something useless.

At this point I prefer these big tech CEOs just be involved in whatever is least damaging to society.

I think that’s a very mature, realistic take. Personally, if I was a 60 year old billionaire, I’d probably be having a series of long vacations or chilling in my yacht. It’s cool that bezos is still trying.

Maybe you wouldn't. Maybe you'd find it difficult to walk away from the lifestyle that made you a billionaire in the first place.

Maybe! I certainly hope so. But if my life thus far is any indication, I do enjoy working hard but also have to fight _really_ hard to not slip into laziness, even though it makes me less happy. Something about the delayed gratification of doing hard things -- there is a ton of gratification, but my monkey brain hates the delay.
