It's a fascinating bit of biology to see a species collectively sacrifice its well being for the benefit of one man almost entirely without getting something in return.

Not to argue rich people never did anything useful for humanity. The pun is that one may be promoted to great status for doing great things but after that there is no obligation to continue doing great things.

We are in an endless war against the great void and we've appointed many generals who at best couldn't care less about the war and at worse joined the dark side.

You've paid the man and now you get to see books you like fly into the great nothingness. Funny as hell! He showed non of the kindness and generosity he is known for?

You should give him more money, maybe something different happens next time.
