Nothing is of any value to them if it doesn't make them money, including human life. They are barely even human anymore. They can't even perceive of life 5 years into the future. Just short-term Me Me Me thinking and hoarding wealth to try and fill the hole in their hearts that will never be filled.

They think wanting to see the stars is stupid. They think a passion for exploring new places and enjoying the beauty of nature is pointless - get back to work peon! What an utterly sad existence devoid of any meaning.
