    I have a theory that being rich acts as a non-corporeal neurotoxin that’s dissolves the empathy centers of the brain

      That effect has been shown in lab studies. I dunno if a workable mechanism was proposed but the effect is strong in a lab setting. I'd imagine in a real world setting the would be worse

        pretty sure mental disorders are also susceptible to being affected by environmental conditions

            Most rich people are born rich, so plenty of time to be raised to believe you can do whatever you want to the poors. Like others said, I believe that being raised in an environment where you learn money fixes everything, and is mark of innate morality, I think you just kinda learn that whatever you want is okay to want. Who's gonna stop you?

            Also, maybe it's a fallacy to assume every rich pedo is naturally attracted to children. We assume people have a natural repellance to harming children, but maybe that's not true when you're raised to believe that what you want is what should happen? Maybe to them, it's just fun to take advantage of humans in novel and taboo way, kinda like the perverse fun of having a slave.

            I dunno! We don't study these things enough unfortunately

        isn’t attraction to children classified as a mental disorder people are born with?

        No, its usually learned by people who were themselves victims of csa
