A second time.

The first time was stealing from everybody to become billionaires in the first place.

Thiel has worried that Western civilization had entered a period of long-term stagnation in the 1970s which will continue unless there is a radical shake-up. This stagnation has many dimensions: lower economic growth, fewer world-changing scientific discoveries, and a general cultural malaise.

Imagine looking back at the proud of time where there was literally the most advances in the wildest technology and thinking it’s stagnation. It was from a time period where people remembered refrigeration as new and exciting to the time where your phone has more computing power than the ones that put people on the moon, and it’s in your freaking pocket, and say that technology stagnated.

As for the lower economic growth and the “stagnating” culture, that’s squarely on the shoulders of corporations, and therefore, billionaires.

They never had any humanity to begin with. It is the only way to become a Billionaire.

Steps to become a billionaire:

1. Abandon humanity
2. Step-on children’s smiles
3. Fund a feasibility study on turning poor into fuel
4. Second study to prove those idiots in the first study wrong
5. Replace gym equipment in second home with dogs you can kick and hit for exercise. The dogs must be trained service animals in active service to people who need them. You bankrupt those people at great personal expense and then you buy their dogs for pennies.
6. Lunch
7. Become billionaire
8. Take cool pictures with swords. Don’t show nobody.
9. Abandon humanity
10. Something kardashian related

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Peter Thiel and his friends feel they no longer belong to our species.

Hard to argue with that actually. I’m going to go with they’re some terrible type of worm, slug, or parasite rather than human beings.

That’s because, and I’ll speak loudly for those in the back, THEY DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU

And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.

Like the torment Nexus tweet, I feel like some rich idiots read stuff like that and think it’s a good idea.

Maybe it is required to be inhumane to be a billionaire?

Then maybe we should start relieving them of theirs

as a german I am very sorry to the world for Peter Thiel, Trumps bloodline, Hitler and a shit ton more. We are bad exporters as it turns out

Sorry mate, this “money” thing can only be owned by humans. See, that dog over there, that chair, that building, or that chatbot over yonder, they can’t own anything, because they’re not human. If you are not part of humanity, you can’t own human IOU credits. So, have fun at the island, we’ll check in on you in October.

Think about how much empathy your parents generation has for yours. They kind of sympathize, wish things were easier, but ultimately do not understand the wealth gap or your day-to-day.

Think about how much empathy you have for a 3rd world exploited labourer. You kind of sympathize, definitely wish things were easier, but ultimately do not understand on how they live on less than a dollar a day.

Billionaires aren’t just one or two levels removed from understanding your situation. They are whole planets apart. They cannot comprehend our daily struggles. They do not see it except through summarized news reports that pander and reframe it to their lifestyle.

Billionaires are the most removed species on this planet
