@golinux +100 especially to the arrogant part.

Why else do people hoard insane amounts of wealth endlessly even when they are already billionaires or more?

They clearly have all the power they could already need at that point.

Yes, its that pride syndrome.

Arrogance is always what happens when confidence is unbalanced in one way or another.

I sadly have learned this in my own life after a few decades or more.

Btw, I won't deny I don't have problems with pride myself. I have had many in my life.

Took me a few decades to learn that lol.

How sad is that?

If my confidence is in an unhealthy place I will make many more mistakes than if I kept that part of me in check. Although I still would* make plenty even then.

typo again! annoying lol

A bunch of edits because forgot to say a few things.

Luckily we have a thing called "natural ability" to help others in such situations, e.g. "inherited behavior".

Not to get philosophical here, but animals only do what they've been programed to do (to use a computer analogy). That's one thing that makes them animals. Human beings have free choice, and as you alluded to, most are using that free choice in a wrong way. Yes, I'm paying attention.

A good timely reminder. I remember telling my wife years ago when our son was very little that he can't be left alone in the bathtub. A kid can drown in an inch of water.

Natural selection has nothing to do here. Human beings are not animals.

When Children Drown, Adults Are Typically Around
You need to supervise your kids in the pool(bathtub/pond/lake/etc)
It’s not enough to just be present(doesn't hurt to be proficient in first-aid/cpr/etc as well)
