I read a bunch by David Loy on how the emptiness people feel inside leads them to artificial means of meaning, when it's there to be had by self-realization. Too much and ever enough.

Money and power and so on are just empty calories to them. Just make them hungrier.

I am content via my Buddhist practice.

Zuck is a fake Buddhist.

But the damage these people do in order to fill that emptiness is horrific.
