How's that for a slogan about the banality of evil?
But it's true, understanding that money is how we allocate power and resources. The NSA does it on behalf of the government for power, while Facebook is grasping higher, for money that brings power and more.
I think how you define "world domination" is a matter of context; place and time. Nobody in their right mind today would attempt literal world domination; if even successful, control would begin to decay a microsecond after formation. And why would you want the migraines?
But given the fungibility of money, it's demonstrably smarter to try to amass the biggest pile of it, and call that good enough for even a Bond villain.
But why power and resources? Existential angst, a fearful craving for security, for ensuring the survival of one's self and spawn.
We all want to quiet that primal fear, so we all need money to some degree. A system that gives a few security at the cost of inflicting existential angst on the many is an evil system. From the perspective of a social primate, we've made the mistake of letting some pathological alphas act to the detriment of the tribe as a whole.
That's why Trump, that's why Bernie. We'll get Hillary. Ain't life a bitch? Pass me a banana.
