This is just a meme, but it does touch on something important. There’s a journalist by the name of Douglas Rushkoff. He put out a book last year titled, Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaire Elite, and he was invited by a group of 5 anonymous tech oligarchs out to the desert to talk about surviving what they call “The Event”, or when the consequences of their actions finally catch up to them.

He also says at the core of their desire to escape it is rooted in something he calls “The Mindset”, which is belief that with enough money and technology, wealthy men can live as gods, and transcend the calamities and tribulations that befall us mere mortals.

“The Mindset” is rooted in empirical science, that human beings are nothing more than the sum total of their chemical components, and that’s it, and only the “truly superior” (Billionaire Tech Broligarchs) understand that.

I am still stuck in “2014”, which is where I was back in 1995.

But then again, I never became obscenely wealthy by grossly parasitizing off of the labour of other people, so I never had the chance to devolve and become corrupted by capitalism.

Rich billionaire assholes are ruining every industry. It’s not just the tech sector.

I’m so sick of seeing this exact fucking face and facial expression on everything. please just use ms paint to shoddily squiggle a matchstick man, at least it will have personality.

I like the other one better.
