Well said! In psychology, the "nature vs. nurture" argument is often made, but I think you've pegged it well as "nurture" under the system of capitalism being the main culprit. Capitalism is making everyone caught up in its web mentally ill--the billionaires, isolated and alienated as you say, but also the lowliest workers who have come to believe their personal "success" is tied to their bank account (or lack of one). For instance, how many suicides are caused by money problems or perceived lack of "success"? I bet a large portion of them. More reasons why capitalism must die and why some of its sickest sociopaths may need a headectomy via guillotine.
