I think this is our great filter … the filter that won’t allow us to explore the universe beyond our planet. We’ll send up probes and robots into space but we’ll be too busy fighting the handful of men down here who want to try to rule the planet. And those handful of men will keep our world as miserable as possible in order to keep them wealthy and as powerful as possible. Once that group of men dies off, another group of men will take their place endlessly. And it will be that perpetual small group of men that will keep us confined to our current state of evolution and keep us all down on this planet.
As Carl Sagan put it in ‘A Pale Blue Dot’ …
“The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.”
It’s time to make extreme sacrifices.
It seems like this is above everything. Above nation, and above race. It’s humanity vs them.
Space is not meant for humanity, anyways.
We need to focus on ourselves and send the robots to space.
We’re all just crabs in a bucket
It’s a genetic failing of our species. We constantly have people trying to be in control and then control the wealth and resources. There’s a lot of people that worship or need to follow those in power. Our brains are wired this way, whether it be hoarding toilet paper for a crisis or hoarding wealth and power to control the crisis, or lauding the hoaders.
If we cannot suppress or regulate these extremes sufficiently we won’t survive the impending climatological and resource collapse. Everyone will hoard to be the last one standing on the burning dumpster.
Now if the people with the brains would just revolt and fuck up all the network, source code, applications, etc, they will have nothing.
Nothing will get better until we start executing billionaires.
Nah.
The real move is con icting them for the theft and pain and suffering they caused necessary to accumulate that much wealth. Them and all the people that facilitated it, which still isn’t that many people.
Seize all their wealth, and due to the scale of people they hurt accumulating that wealth, it’s all gonna be life sentences.
If it’s over in an instant the lesson is forgotten quickly.
Throw them in gen pop federal prison with no resources to protect them, and let them rot. That’s a bigger deterrent, and literally the only time sentencing deters crimes is when the criminal already has enough they don’t need to steal.
We need to make it so no millionaire would ever dream of stepping into a grey area, and when they do, we make an example.
The trouble is that the legal system is required to enforce any of that, and the billionaires have unlimited legal resources; politicians need to enact those laws, and their influence and support can be bought.
To have hope of it suceeding there would need to be overwhelming popular support. And while most people alive know that what’s currently happening in the world needs to change - many disagree on what that change should look like (because they’re misinformed or ignorant). It might take decades to change their minds, and the billionaires own the media…
If it’s over in an instant the lesson is forgotten quickly.
100%, on a historical, societal level.
Trouble is presently there’s no accountability for them, zero they can’t buy their way out of. They think they’re untouchable, and they’re honestly not wrong.
I think they need to be touched. A lot. And hard.
Given the urgency, I don’t much care about the mode or method.

If your plan does not include killing ALL billionaires then I’m not interested. We can do the sensible thing right after, but first we must water the earth.
Dang, they must be good with prompts. I can’t even get it to make me an accurate PowerPoint yet.
So your saying just a handful of assholes need to die?
Nah, all billionaires. There’s way more of those
Easy, call down there, Sherlock.
Yeah, but has anyone asked grok about this yet?
Wow only A.I? I ”hope”I get to watch the world burn.
Are they single?
I assume they have wives that were trafficked and groomed from birth to be trophy wives.
