I've noticed from youtube conferences and bloomberg and these things that many of these 1% people live in shit apartments, probably expensive ones, but shit black and white decorations, porno furniture, very blackpilling. Many traders and financiers appear very unhealthy as well. Very stressed out, probably do drugs, eat shit, weakened organs, have shaped beards exposing booze and fast food chins, women probably wearing pounds of makeup. I understand to an extent why they might deserve what Goldman and the like pay them.

They do, they've learn from history that you don't want to flaunt your wealth because that's how you end up getting thrown down a well with a couple nades dropped on your head or taken to the guillotine, or dragged through the streets with people throwing hot oil on you, or being skinned alive and your skin being used as some kind of pillar, or boiling silver + gold and pouring it down your throat, or having horse being tided to your limbs and sent running off, or thrown off roof tops. They want it to appear as "WOW IF I WORK HARD ENOUGH I CAN BE JUST LIKE THEM! THEY'RE JUST LIKE ME!" It's a never ending cycle, just because you're aware of it happening in the past, doesn't mean you're not apart of it.

I'm pretty sure a big part of it is shaped by necessity. Back then the aristocracy needed to live in incredibly opulent residences and patronise master artists in order to prop up their legitimacy in the social order. now daddy state takes care of any potential dissidents/popular unrest, so they can abandon the aesthetic component of their riht to rule. end result is warren buffett eating macdonalds and shit. disgusting

Give me one fundamental reason why some random billionaire couldn't be just as much of a pleb, aesthetics-wise, as a single mom on child support.

Upper class education is necessary to have the capacity for art. It might sound outrageous to your retarded neoliberal mentality but that's the case. Goethe, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Milton, Johnson, etc were all very well-educated. Artists can come from the middle or lower-class but they usually don't. If you try to cater to them you end up with a society that considers nog rappers as "artists."

>Give me one fundamental reason why some random billionaire couldn't be just as much of a pleb, aesthetics-wise, as a single mom on child support.
They mostly are. But the upper-class as a whole has more potential than the plebs. Maybe 10% of the upper-class can be proper self-realized people but only 0.5% of kids with single moms can attain the same thing. Its a question of increasing potential. Most remain buffoons eitherway. The upper-class today though is extremely degenerate though and is spiritually identical to nignog single moms so they don't count. I'm talking about people like Napolean and the environment that raised him.

Have you seen Donald Trump's apartment? Like this picture there is gold everywhere. His living room looks like a modern version of this dining room. It is his bathroom and gold toilet is where it went weird.

Also Mark and Patricia McClosky have a much more scaled down version of this style in their home with them being only millionaires an all.

I think most of the current crop of the elite don't have an eye for beauty since they are very hideous on the inside and their decisions that they have made in the last 100 years reflect this on them and especially their descendants.

You take the current state of things for granted. The very fact that the "uneducated lower classes," know how to read and write means they've been catered to. And if we make them suffer the way you're suggesting they'll just end up demoralized and defeated. You have an idealistic view that they'd awaken some latent artistic sense because of their suffering when that's not the case, only very very few people proportionally can do that.
