A few good billionaires among the saboteurs donât justify the existence of the species. Thatâs why in Kim Stanley Robinsonâs climate-fiction novel The Ministry for the Future, billionaires are eliminated as a climate hazard, their fortunes whittled down to $50m if they comply. Robinson writes: âThere was scientifically supported evidence to show that if the Earthâs available resources were divided up equally among all 8 billion humans, everyone would be fine. They would all be at adequacy, and the scientific evidence very robustly supported that people living at adequacy, and confident they would stay there (a crucial point), were healthier and happier than rich people.â On a thriving planet, human beings should be human scale, but the super-rich are on another scale altogether, giants trampling underfoot both nature and our efforts to protect it.
At least there is some degree of schadenfreude in the knowledge that Nazi-lovinâ antisemite Coco Chanelâs business empire ended up under the control of a Jewish family.
I wonder if your employees feel the same way?
So much for the libertarian non-aggression principle!
(Not that I ever believed it, especially for people like Musk.)
You think the god-king billionaires care about those proles! /s
Heâs just one little industrial accident away from needing a neurolink. They can just take one from a dead chimp and slap it in.
