You referred to them as "fools", twice. That's judgement. So obviously you
do care.

It's no different from someone buying a 1.5 million dollar McLaren and
crashing it the next day.

If the man has enough money to buy a 1.5 million dollar car that is
fine. At least he can drive it.

As far as the crash, if not an intentional crash, it was not foolish.

If that is the crash I am thinking about and he was going way over the
speed limit, that part is the foolish part.

That inch of paper with some print on it is totally worthless except for
the collector value of being able to say that it is the only one.
Suppose I take a piece of paper and put some paint on it. Practically
worthless. However if I can convience (or others convience) that my
paintings are worth something, then it suddenly becomes very valuable.
As I will never become famous, my paper will be worthless.

I like the story of someone that went around to restraunts and offered a
napkin he had scribbled on for the price of the meal. Over the years
those napkins became probably worth the restraunts he ate in as he
became a famous artist.
