The difference between a regular person struggling and a multi-millionaire like this guy, is that this guy has literally any and all resources at his disposal to help. I find it hard to have sympathy for people struggling through entirely self-inflicted misery, especially when they are responsible for inflicting that same misery on thousands of others.
Don't have to sympathize to realize it's ableist. Being vulnerable to psychosis is a medical condition and being wealthy doesn't make you immune to it.
That's true, maybe I have less sympathy because I've been diagnosed with psychosis myself and it is a bit of a "bootstraps mentality" with regards to it. Maybe I'm being too harsh on myself with that, but it is kind of like...I don't like the idea some people perpetuate that it can be "ableist" to judge someone struggling with mental illness that has done nothing to improve their situation. I don't think it is ableism to not want people to wallow in self-inflicted misery. These are just my thoughts, I'm not saying you're implying that or think like that, I'm not trying to be aggressive or abrasive, so sorry if it is coming across that way, that really isn't my intention.
