Pleonexia. Learn this word. It’s all around us.
As Christmas approaches, I reflect on my word of the year: pleonexia — an ancient Greek term describing the insatiable desire to take more than your fair share, even when it harms others. In 2025, we saw that everywhere.

I went back and threw some color on the Levi/Pleonexia sketch
A young ~200 Pleonexia before he had his title and before he shattered his own soul for the sake of Greed, when he could still disguise his eyes and their unnatural color. 💚

"For Plato, the source of inequality was a disease of the soul that the Greeks called pleonexia — a kind of insatiable greed...Plato likened those insatiable souls to slaves who are ruled by their desires."

"Los ricos se vuelven dependientes de la adquisición permanente de riqueza por temor a que si alguna vez se volvieran menos ricos, su posición en la sociedad se desplomaría y nunca se recuperaría. Eso los lleva a la pleonexia, una codicia q todo lo consume y nunca se puede saciar" (Branko Milanovic)

Sociocide and pleonexia are not just words. They describe what’s happening in plain sight: the destruction of society by those who refuse responsibility for the common good. This video asks whether tax avoidance is sociocidal — and what we should do about it.

Pleonexia | noun | extreme greed for wealth or material possessions; avarice.
I wanted to do another of those deep shaded portrait styles, and I thought Pleonexia would be an interesting and accurate subject. 💚

![Pleonexia [he/they], Eldest Sin of Greed, a man with tan skin and 4 horns with dark hair mostly tied back except for where wavy bangs fall to one side of his face. He is looking at the viewer with unnaturally bright green eyes and smiling, face and body cast in deep shadow.

These people act like they've never even heard of pleonexia. The whole idea is that those afflicted--oligarchs--cannot be sated.
“Elon has billions in government contracts, you don’t see a conflict of interest there?”
New Hampshire’s Gov. Chris Sununu: “Everyone has a conflict of interest on some level… he’s so rich it doesn’t matter to him.” 🤡
A full-throated endorsement and defense of corruption.

I haven't felt like drawing too much lately,
but I wanted to sketch a little Levi (younger Pleonexia) for an AU thing my partner and I were doing. Pleonexia has looked different over a few thousand years, so.

Big "yes" to this, which I sketched in my last book. Pleonexia (insatiable greed) is relentless for its victims. The Book of Ecclesiastes offer a lovely metaphor for this -- "chasing the wind" (trying to grasp something that can never be attained).
Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.

(ritually expressed by coins in the corpse's mouth and grave goods) means that material wealth both began and ultimately ended in the one place where it was utterly useless. Hades's dual dominion might initially appear incongruous, but it's an elegant narrative about the hubris of 'pleonexia'. 3/3

Anyway there's no chance in hell Musk will actually leave voluntarily. It would be a total departure from his character. Remember, pleonexia is a compulsion.
