Misquote, he clearly said "one thousand Epsteins" while fondling himself

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I heard him say Epsteins as well. Didn't see the fondling part, so that day was a good day for my brain and eyes.

JoeRoganization is the carcinization equivalent for the wealthy.

Geared up, brained down.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

That unfortunate reality that their enormous wealth has been mostly down to population growth and psychopathic greed, and not because they were born with magical business brains.

[-] tigermountain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Stories like these from people like these are always delivered through the lens of what's best for business. This is propaganda.

[-] Napster153@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Also lack of genuine self-awareness on their own true intentions. To them, being greedy is so ingrained they can't see it as a hazard to themselves until its too late.

I can never take anyone who complains about "Eco Fascists" that want a lower human population seriously because I always have to consider if they're getting their views downstream of Bezos or Musk. The Elite want higher populations so we have to fight each other. Every time in history when there's been a workers deficit, the workers got more right.

Ehh, finding these mozarts and einsteins will be near impossible because their upbringing will be impoverished and school results are more dependant on wealth than intelligence.

[-] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

He says '1000 Einsteins', but surely thinks '1000 Bezoses' because of course he thinks he's a genius, and because there'll be more new faces in the billionaire paedophilic orgies.

Assuming some aliens appeared out a thin air and gifted us fusion powered spacecraft and space elevator technology it would still take centuries to get to trillions of humans. These people really do talk utter shit.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm not sure that we ever would. Every country that gets healthcare and a standard of living above abject poverty drops their birthrates. I would hope with fusion power, there wouldn't be a person on (or off) the planet going hungry.

But then again, Jeff Bezos exists, so we'll still end up with 99% of the wealth in the hands of 1%.

Name one Mozart composition or one Einstein scientific publication by title. Fucking populists.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I hope he clones a trillion of himself and they all end up killing each other fighting for the top spot of best sociopath in the solar system.

[-] Initech_vs_Initrode@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

I've heard both Melon Husk and Lil' Jeffy Kisses repeat this sentiment. Where do they even get their figure? Something like 120 billion humans have existed, ever, and there has been only one Einstein and one Mozart. 1/120B * 1T = 8.5.

Factor in the widespread nutritional and medical resource shortages that would come along with one trillion humans, and I'm confident that number would drop to zero.

It seems to be that we'd be better off ensuring the future of humanity and focusing on science. Surely it would be quicker to experiment with genetics to grow an Einstein than it would be to implement a trillion-human breeding lottery hoping to find one.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You are not ever going to have another Einstein since as soon as they prove useful the cretins like bozoes would use them for something that would not allow for the free thought that would come up with decent ideas.

Above a certain point in wealth one's income is basically a slice of the wealth everybody produces, so the more the people the more wealth in aggregated they produce, the faster these types increase their wealth.

It's the reason why countries' GDPs are quoted as a whole rather than per-capita basis - whilst per-capita is what matters to most people as individuals (ideally the median rather than the mean), for those in power and the local elites it's the entire country's GDP that matters because their power and wealth is linked to the whole quite independently of how many people are producing it (think of it this way: market dominance, political influence, Press control and other forms of controlling how much wealth one gets are mainly country-specific or at least have less "power transmission" between countries than they do inside countries, so given that those tools to extract a slice of country-wide wealth are mainly country-specific, more people in that country means more returns from having such tools).

For the very rich immigration is always desirable even when importing people with lower formal education and less well integrated than the locals - even if the average productivity goes down (and hence per-capita GPD) because the newer, less expert and less well integrated workers, produce less wealth per-person that those already in the local worker pool, for those getting a slice of the aggregated wealth produced in a country even a little more from lower productivity workers, is always more for them.

Humans would find a way to destroy space through greed and corruption.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Space Nutter, hm?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

I uh... Idk, I never thought Bezos was a genius or anything, but I figured he must've been at least moderately above average in intelligence for Amazon to take off initially like it did (I do realize that all the growth for the past 2 decades and more is unrelated to him, but the actual founding part of a startup is somewhat... dependent on the founders)

But I don't think it takes a particularly smart person to figure out that we can't handle 3 more orders of magnitude of humans consuming resources that are mostly available on planet Earth. Average person should definitely figure it out. And he owns a space company. How the fuck does he not realize how infeasible it is?

Same outcome if we invested AI gambling money into education and scholarships, btw.
