Well actually I wasn't. The old rich New England families were always interbreeding. The circle was not large.

We were talking about the top paid actors.

Or perhaps we need better treatment for psychopathy - a condition many of the top 50 may well suffer from.

Many of the bottom 7.5 billion also suffer from psychopathy. Is there any reason to think psychopathy is disproportionately presented in the top 50? Is success an indication of psychopathy?

Inbreeding.

Is there any reason to think that inbreeding has occurred in the top 50 paid actors?

I think he is probably referring to the 7.5 billion and of course for once he is right.

LOL, true, true.

I think there is a good reason. There's been studies done showing psychopathic tendencies are more prevalent in CEO's than the general population. It's not particularly surprising, really.

Rum was talking about the top 50 wealthiest people in the world.

Of course, we were talking about the top paid actors, not CEOs. Although...some of them are probably CEO of their own corporations, so there's that.

Rum was talking about the top 50 wealthiest people in the world. I look forward to 10 pages of you trying to argue that he wasn't.

[Rum]

Well I thought the patriarchal nature of wealth was the theme if not exactly the specific topic.

I'm most concerned with how Marky Mark got to be the top paid actor . Aside from being only an average actor, he's not really in that many massive hits. I would have thought someone like Tom Hanks (or Matt Damon) would be paid way above him.

[Rum]

Benedict Cummerbund should get zillions for the twat of a name he gave himself.

Actually, it's his real name.

He's excellent in this scene.

I find it hard to believe any actor gets paid that much. But, since they aren't going to reduce the ticket prices if they pay Markie Mark less, then I'd rather he get it than the studios.

But, it's the current year, so as Black Lives Matter activists rightly say, it's time that Markie Mark either gave up his acting gigs in favor of a black or brown body, or he should donate his earnings to black and brown people. Anything less is privilege and racism.

Cumberbatch, you know it as well as I do
