To be fair, if I was a billionaire and I had the choice of helping ordinary people or doing something awesome, I would definitely pick to do something awesome. I respect Bill Gates for fighting malaria, but I would go for spaceships or robots.
Which is why not you, nor them should have so much money. We need to prevent idiots from doing idiot things by redistributing their wealth.
Then everyone will be poor and the civilization will collapse.
Great concentration of wealth is also highly destabilizing. We are seeing this play out before our eyes in real time right now.
It's not.
