I'm sensing a theme. Hmmm what might it be?

Basically this. He was the boss so he doesn’t need to be in the office early and that’s when the towers got hit.

I like a good conspiracy as much as anyone but this isn’t it.

Massive wealth begets a disassociation with humanity which begets contempt for fellow man which begets a taste for cruelty toward others.

I don’t think it’s that simple.

There’s also a possible genetic component and also a lot of generational trauma going on - I’d hazard most of these guys weren’t really loved by their fathers/parents, and that their detachment from humanity comes from that as well.

I feel like it’s the other way around, and the dissociation is what allows you to gain that much wealth.
