If there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire, what do you think is the maximum amount of money* one can have and still be ethical?

*Assuming money = 'net worth' not spending money, like a retiree with a pension who owns a house could technically be a millionaire on paper and not live anything like someone making a million a year

[(Anonymous)]

$299 mil. I believe that's the number studies have shown that, when crossed, you stop thinking of the world as anything other than a playground for your amusement.

[(Anonymous)]

Man, I don't know. It would depend on how you got that money and what you do with it more than the specific dollar amount, I'd say. People say there are no ethical billionaires because you usually can't get that amount of money without some kind of shenanigans going on, or inheriting it from someone who did said shenanigans.

[(Anonymous)]

After like 10 million I think it gets pretty unethical to not start just giving it away.

Maybe an exception if all of it is tied up in one company that you own or work for, or it's the valuation of your music or art or something.

10 mil in liquid assets?

[(Anonymous)]

Is it being offered in cash or cheque?

[(Anonymous)]

It's said that around 300M USD people start losing touch with reality and leaning into the dehumanization of others, so it would definitely be below that.

I'd like to say... depending on your region, the low end is 5M and the high end is 25M. But basically, if over 90% of the population around you (I really want to say over 95% but maybe that's optimistic) is getting their basic needs met without needing to take on an extra job or apply for food stamps/govt assistance and can even pursue some interests or take 1-2 vacations a year, you're probably okay.

But this also assumes you're not doing anything that might harm other humans or the planet, such as owning a private jet you take anywhere on a whim, or doing creepy Epstein things.

I'm willing to put the line at 100 million, but I could be argued down to 20 or up to 300. I'm not super invested in a hard line below a billion.

Something about having so much wealth rots the brain. You lose track of other humans and their lives and feelings and needs and value. If you have "going to space money" or even just "get away with crime with no consequences" money I don't think it's possible to be a good person.

I'd like to read studies on the topic honestly.

It's going to depend where you live. Like, I have a below average income due to various long-term illnesses, but I live in a cheap area in a country with a solid health system and I do okay. If I was in the same situation in the US (or even the UK with the chronic starving of the NHS) I would be really struggling and possibly destitute.

And even then, someone who owns a home might be relatively cash poor but is in a much more secure situation than someone with the same income who is renting.

[(Anonymous)]

Depends on what kind of money tbh. Like you mentioned, "net worth" isn't really correlated to anything real, and nobody with more than a few dozen million actually has that much in real spendable money, rather than just having access to an elaborate shell game of access, power, and debt. Someone could have that much wealth on paper - a large family farm in an area where real estate recently shot up, an inheritance - but no ability to actually spend it, and also make no attempts to play the game and be mostly fine as a person, I think. Somebody can have almost no wealth even on paper but manage to con themself into the game anyway (I name no names but you have also seen the news lately) and be just as bad as any billionaire.

Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm planning a family game night tonight, and I would love to hear what everyones favourite board/card/anything game they love to play!

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

We don't play a lot of board games anymore but Catan is still a tried and true classic for us. Other than that, I really like Wingspan because I love birds. You can also buy additional sets for birds from other world regions. And there's also a dragon version!

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

We’re partial to Clue, Uno, Rumikub, Gwent (we bought the cards that are copies of the ones in Witcher 3), and Battleship. Clue is the best game if you really want to use a board, Uno is the best game overall (according to my family).

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[kaijinscendre]

Party Games: Codenames, Exploding Kittens, and Double Feature.

Longer games: Betrayal at House on the Hill, Horrified, and any of those "solve the crime" one use games.

Re: Favourite boardgame?

Coup: it's a card game about bluffing. It can be played quick or slow, but I prefer quick. You have two of half a dozen face-cards representing operatives with specific powers. You keep the cards face down and take actions based on the operatives you have (or claim to have) or general actions. You try to build up enough coins to assasinate or coup the others players operatives but they can call your bluff at any time. If you were lying you lose the card, if you weren't *they* lose a card. Last player with a card left wins.

Also I really enjoyed the DnD board game. We kept at it for months.

I've played Root once, and it's SUPER complicated and took quite a while to get comfortable, but I want to play again SO BAD <3

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[philstar22]

Settlers of Catan is fun. Root, Mysterium, and all the versions of Duel are also fun.

I also really like nerdy versions of classic games. I have all the Monopoly versions, several Trivial Pursuits, Star Wars Battleship, and Star Wars Life.

Scrabble and Clue are always loved classics.

If card games count, my top two are Cards Against Humanity and Apples to Apples.

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

I loved Pandemic until the real world got involved.

Other than that my favourite is probably Mysterium. A mix of Dixit and Clue - what's not to love?

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

Scrabble, any trivia game, Cards Against Humanity IF your family doesn't mind shock humor

I love boardgame family nights

[(Anonymous)]

Carcassonne, Dixit, Can't Stop, Scattegories, and Catch Phrase are the ones that make the rounds at almost every family gathering for us. We also like Triominoes, Pictionary, and Scrabble.

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

I like Fluxx but you have to have people who understand that the rules will change in-game and can roll with that.

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

The Game of Life (earlier versions), Upwords, Sequence, Catchphrase, Scrabble, Yatzhee, Dabble

Re: Favourite boardgame?

[(Anonymous)]

Scrabble, as long as everyone can be relaxed about it. I've got one that's against the rules except when I do it relative, so we play something different when they're around :)

Media You Change Your Mind On

[philstar22]

Is there media you changed your mind on, one way or another? Used to love, now dislike or vice versa? I don't mean only like part of it. I mean you fully changed your opinion.


I was thinking about this show Ed that I used to love. Was the first lawyer show I watched, and may have been part of what inspired me to be a lawyer. But looking back at it, it is horribly sexist and dated. I tried to rewatch a while ago and couldn't make it past season 1. So much cringe.

Re: Media You Change Your Mind On

Most TV shows I loved when I was 13, I look back on now and think "I can't believe I used to think this was so cool!"
