I wonder how much of your complaints should really be addressed to Roko (in the parent of Z. M. Davis's comment).

Roko's claims:

• greed and self-interest are preconditions for the motivation necessary to achieve financial success
• another useful motivation is the desire for sex with extremely attractive women, which generates a desire for status
• yet another useful motivation is an animosity towards society based on a desire to be seen as right

Z. M. Davis's claim:

• the attitude promulgated by Roko requires one to look on life as a zero-sum game

Incidentally, while wealth acquisition is obviously not a zero-sum game, Robin Hanson has argued that status acquisition is in some sense a zero sum game: you can't have high status without there being someone having lower status than you.
