Kevin: What are you all staring at? Do you think I've gone mad, mad with power? Well you're RIGHT. Perkins, from now on you work under your your desk. (hits desk) I said under your desk, man....Don't bother me, worm. I would have you fired if I had a little *more* power. I've gone mad with my *moderate* amount of power."

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
But it also rocks absolutely."

"Do you have any idea how good this feels? I did this. Tiny, little Wheatley did this![...]All you've ever done is boss me around! Well now who's the boss? Who's the boss? It's me."

The situation is surreal: while majority of people are ridiculing them – that is, those that pay them any attention at all – individuals like Christina Figuerres or Bill Gates are still chanting their same old mantras. This is quite worrisome. Namely, someone could infer that they are simply delusional, finalizing their detachment from reality, and leave it at that. However, this is only half-true. The whole truth, as it seems, is that their detachment from reality is the result not of mere mental blindness, but of power inflicted darkening of the minds. This is unmistakable sign of complete detachment of power from the “people”, i.e. masses of humanity or self-conscious groups in their midst. The global elites are not deluded by their stupidity, but by their confident belief that they cannot be challenged. And, judging by signs of the times, they are quite right.
