This honestly explains a lot.

@georgetakei Nobody needs Marc. He's a modern invention.

@georgetakei These are truly the most uneducated people.
And by educated I do not mean formal education. A degree does not make you 'educated.'

[thetannhausergate@mastodon.social]

@georgetakei He's clearly an uneducated billionaire.

@georgetakei Nothing between those ears but beef tallow.

@georgetakei I think that the capacity for introspection is a key component of what makes someone a person and not just a meat golem. And I'm not just talking about Homo Sapiens, whatever the other components are, if a species has them, including introspection, then they're people.

The fact that the super-wealthy are 100,000,000% a creation of changes in the mathematical formula used in the tax laws in the 1980s

And nothing at all too do with any effort or quality of themselves

And that simple changes that said “all that money is no longer yours” would be perfectly legal and correct

Is unfathomable to most people, not just the very wealthy

Who has the most cartoon villain like views of the world?

Hint, only one of them was acting.

@georgetakei he needs his 3 braincells for breathing, blinking and walking at the same time. None left over for other tasks.

[alphachrist@mastodon.social]

@georgetakei so yeah he's a sociopath.

I'm not saying every billionaire is a shallow empty husk, but enough of them are.

[crystal_fish_caves@mstdn.party]

@billyjoebowers I would be a great billionaire. Please let me prove it to you. 😍

So when he says "modern" he means "anything after the invention of writing, when people immediately started recording what philosophers were saying?

[ftp_alun@infosec.exchange]

@georgetakei

[sundew@beige.party]

@georgetakei He's making statements about his own mind, but he doesn't think he has _any_ introspection?

[nurglerider@mastodon.social]

@georgetakei This is just more of the "empathy is bad" crowd's absolute bullshit.

[nutriamix@mstdn.social]

@georgetakei

Oh, to be so dim, yet so obscenely wealthy. It’s clear he has nothing in common with the rest of society.
