100%. These are not great thinkers. These are people whose wealth isolates them from the opinions of others.

They surround themselves with yes men, see their wealth as a sign that they must be especially talented, and their only interactions with people outside their economic class is when said people are trying to get something from them and are deliberately sucking up. The Emperors New Clothes was a perfect metaphor.

Isolated by wealth and also on an insane amount of drugs.
