    Bad people don’t die. The more evil you absorb the longer you live. Like Kissinger living to 100.

      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.
