Power, (being an umbrella term for many kinds of having high status) is an aphrodisiac - for those who have it and for those who don't.
The only straight music/rock star who didn't see more pussy than a toilet seat was Cliff Richard.
Bill Cosby's fame and popularity meant he wouldn't have had any trouble finding women, and yet...
most powerful people have transcended sex and money (as in, they dont obsess over it)
So JFK transcended sex?
Kerry Packer, Rupert Murdoch - money?
i dont think most successful powerful people spend as much time obsessing over sex and cash as an incel in a basement(sex) or some guy on centrelink (money).
you get it, it becomes normalised and you move on
Move on to what?
legacy
philanthropy
travel
spirituality
being in nature
mountain climbing
sports
going to mars
What's legacy got to do with it if you've already 'arrived'?
How many of those is, say, Trump moving on to?
Do you think Musk, himself, is going to Mars?
some people get a kick out of trying to see what the limits of human potential are
goggins running ultra marathons
wimm hoff doing swims under the ice
i think trump is seeing how far a fat 80 yo can go with the throttle wide open before the engine blows
a journo following him in the lead up to the election said he couldnt understand how a guy could be "on" for so long at that age. he literally never seemed to run low on energy.
i saw a trio of ladies at noosa who surf every day , rain hail or shine. they are now all in their 80's . been doing it for 30 yrs and hoping to continue til death.
why?
a reason to get out of bed
once you have enough food and sex and cash , those things wont motivate you to get out of bed
and the idea that powerful successful people get out of bed for those things when they are 80 is wrong in my opinion
