Not sure if “ultra-rich” is the right label, since there are probably some of them who are good people, but I’m referring to the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc.
I’m just wondering: do people like them watch movies or TV shows, or read books? In so much of popular media, people like them (i.e. rich, powerful, unsympathetic) are usually cast as the villain.
If they have any self-awareness and do consume popular media, surely they would know they are (edit: seen as) the bad guys?
My guess is that they simply don’t consume popular media and instead wind down by doing cliche rich people activities (e.g. attend parties of only the rich, partake in expensive sports)
I tried doing a quick internet, but didn’t find an answer that confirms my thoughts, so I gave up and turned to Lemmy.
Talked to a mason once who informed me that one of the first rules they have is to never watch TV or listen to the radio.
Take that as you will.
I don’t think there are many Freemasons around anymore and most of lodges that remain have probably adapted their rules.
I’ve never met a mason that didn’t watch TV and listen to the radio but my sample size is only a few hundred.
