    I think the more fundamental issue, and something we often forget to highlight with these tech bro shitstains, is how many of them are wholly convinced that with enough money they can just live forever.

      how many of them are wholly convinced that with enough money they can just live forever.

      Sometimes i feel like the entire difference between well-adjusted people and the people you describe in your comment comes down to whether their parents exposed them to enough stories growing up.

      Did we not all experience the same fables, nursery rhymes and TV shows that cohesively teach you not to crave immortality and endless power? Not to sacrifice friends for wealth? They must’ve been getting early-start skiing lessons or practicing horse riding instead.

        I learned how to ski before I was 5 and I think I’m an alright person. Not well adjusted by any means, but I try to be nice to everyone.

        Just don’t blame skiing. Horses, probably.
