  • Well that’s certainly a large part of it. It’s also certainly true that a lot of the wealthy are actually really stupid, don’t think things through, and are easily fooled.

    But I’m not so certain it’s just incompetence, though I’m sure that does play a big part. It’s just hard not to think maybe a little bit of it isn’t planned. When you learn about how project 2025 theorizes that the US population ideally should be 100 million it makes all the cutting health care and cutting food Aid and getting rid of vaccines take on a more Sinister light. And that was planned by the Heritage Foundation who write policy for not only the United States but large portions of the rest of the world too.

    And then you start learning about these AI rationalists. Those whack jobs who think that we’re going to create an AI God who will solve all the world’s problems. And anything standing in the way of the creation of the AI God is inherently evil and any sacrifice to get to that point is worthwhile. There’s a shocking number of techboro billionaires who are of that mindset. Who truly believe that we can get rid of Labor and replace it with robots and AI and they want to do it now. And don’t look now but Peter Thiel is in France right now giving a speech about anybody who wants to regulate AI must be the Antichrist. Could a bunch of tech bro billionaires convince a lot of lazy capitalists that letting a lot of rest of us die is a good idea? Doesn’t seem far-fetched to me.
