I agree. I won't be dragged anywhere, if I can help it. I've been known to abandon software, companies, services, or even people who try to do that. With regard to this, I'm very stubborn and very blunt.
With regard to "The Race" you mentioned, I've already tuned out as much as possible. If I've got enough to live comfortably, it's good enough for me. I'm not looking to acquire more and more, and move to a bigger house as soon as I can, and so on. If possible, I'd rather live in a cabin in a forest somehwere.
But, as long as there are people who think it's fully justified (and even reasonable) to earn $50 million in one year, other people will try to get there too, or at least, as far as possible, and keep racing.
