The Epstein files reveal beliefs about race, eugenics, and engineering humans that run to the heart of Silicon Valley.
Having worked Silicon Valley through two boom-and-bust cycles, my impression is that these people hurt because they don’t understand their success. What I mean is that the Internet is a random multiplier: if you have the right idea at the right time and the right structure, you become almost infinitely rich. If you lack anything in the combination, you get nothing.
Take Facebook: the idea had been floating around for a while, but successive implementations suffered from technical, then legal issues. Then Zuck comes along, steals the idea, implements it successfully and boom, you have an infinillionaire. But when the same guy comes up with the next idea, it fails. Then the next one fails. Then the Metaverse happens and the failure is astounding.
It’s basically a lottery, where your startup is the ticket. One person wins, a million plays for nothing. The winner is selected at random.
But people hate that idea, so they come up with stupid “logic” justifying why Zuck won and Yang (Yahoo!) failed. You can’t imagine how many people in Silicon Valley devour Ayn Rand’s ideology, how many believe in genetic racial superiority, and other fairy tales. I was always surprised they didn’t go for divine intervention, but they are largely agnostic.
…and this is why massive concentrations of wealth must be outlawed - the sociopaths think they own the planet.
taxes should be progressive and keep going up because you should actually have to be smart and compentent to be wealthy. When we cut taxes in the 80’s we made it easier and easier for idiot trust fund babies to never lose their wealth.
the sociopaths think they own the planet.
Check your local laws regarding property rights… effectively: yes, they do.
Yeah seriously that article paints a really dark picture
Eugenics has always been a popular idea, all you have to do is call it something else.
In internet culture, the movie Idiocracy (2006) is extremely popular and the most common sentiment is that it’s coming true. It’s a cute move, but it’s central premise is Eugenics: the idea that if humans are allowed to breed naturally, it’ll lead to societal collapse. There are so many online people who think that movie represents how evolution works. It’s scary.
Something something “Sydney Sweeney was just talking about her eyes and nothing more, leebcuckz!”
I heard about it on Behind the Bastards iirc. Absolutely horrifying, like, in addition to the abuse of minors: some sort of breeding kink, he envisioned having a mansion full of women carrying his babies to term.
The deeper you go with this the worse it gets - both about Epstein himself and how many people were in on it.
White supremacy in my Western powers that be? Say it ain’t so!
Saying that these people are sick in the head would be an understatement
