[–] bunchberry@lemmy.world 44 points 7 months ago (4 children) Bad people don't die. The more evil you absorb the longer you live. Like Kissinger living to 100. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 7 months ago I suspect it's the lack of stress due to being a sociopath. Not caring about others has to make life pretty easy in some respects. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago Bad people don’t die Selection bias. Bad people die all the time, and then we forget about them (or never learn about them) because they stop being in the spotlight. Nobody talks about the Koch Brothers or the Waltons anymore, as they've degraded to irrelevance. Nobody talks about the Carnegies or Fords or Hoovers anymore, for the same reason. Steve Jobs was an evil fuck and he's gone now, so he's off the radar. Meanwhile, nobody had Lucky Palmer pegged as a sociopath ten years ago and now he's doing James Bond Villain tier war crimes. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 11 points 7 months ago Because it has to be here. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BoycottTwitter@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) There are exceptions to the rule for example Rush Limbaugh and maybe soon Scott Adams. permalink fedilink source parent
