/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I doubt it. I'm having a hard time finding it, but there was a study that suggested that wealthy people kind of stopped developing mentally at whatever time they became wealthy. I think this study was focused more on children and adolescents, but I can see it applying to adults somewhat. If you think about it, wealthy people become disconnected from the rest of society and rarely suffer the consequences of their actions. I mean, maybe if he lost his fortune and was left destitute...
This is a thing in psychology. Overcoming challenges is what forces us to grow, so when you break that "game" by having so much money that you never have to be challenged again, it makes sense that you would stop developing.
You see the same sort of thing with alcohol/drug addiction - when a person finds a chemical "easy-button" for dopamine, they tend to mentally get stuck around the age that they started using.
