These philosophies, at their core, argue that the future will be full of delicious, unimaginable wonders—but only if we ensure that the already powerful never face any barriers to remaking the world as they see fit.
Edward Ongweso Jr. is a gift and a blessing. Love it when smart people point this shit out in a no-nonsense manner.
It never leaves my mind thinking of what we can possibly do to stop their future from coming to pass.
I'm pretty sure it won't play out exactly how they want it to; for being "smart" people, a lot of these guys are dumb as shit and totally incapable of any kind of empathy or realization of how real people might respond to the consequences of their actions instead of the idealized, well-behaved worshippers that exist only in their heads.
It's still going to be shit. It's already shit.
Honestly considering how Musk's shit is collapsing on him and just how many of these fuckers are as dumb as him, "pretty sure it won't play out exactly how they want it to" is what I very much expect. The only questions for me is essentially "how long" before it finally blow up in their face(like crypto did not too long ago) and "how painful" it will be for the rest of us before that bullshit gets scrapped for blowing up in their face as it would.
That's always the depressing asterisk is that there's so much damage to innocents from jackasses like Musk. Not that it won't repair all the damage done, but I do hope that when all is said and done, billionaires will suffer like they made all of us suffer.
