But, it also means we get Sam Altman as the next Elon Musk if he cashes in before the pop. And whatever other tech bros do the same. More filthy-rich men with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old.

I’d prefer they all stay out of politics, entirely.

The idea of intelligence being a static property of a person is already known to be wrong. And IQ is not the same as intelligence. The idea that there’s one number to put to how smart a person is needs to die.

The rallies also offer no challenge. Interviews, potentially, have tough questions or a hostile audience. He enjoys the rallies because it’s just bunch of people propping up his ego without giving one shit about what he says.

I have the instance blocked. Nice thing about Lemmy, you can vote with your attention. When toxic bubbles pop up, you can ignore them en masse. Any collateral blocking doesn’t bother me. [insert Nazi party meme]

And Juice, Cotton, Rummy, Sloe, Fizz…etc.

Is this MRTOW/MGTOW just mask-off incel shit? I think it would fine to ban that level of toxicity permanently.

What’s interesting is what you’re describing of your rich acquaintances sounds solidly middle-class to me.

I really like what they do but mostly find them unlistenable. If you don’t enjoy listening to people just chatting and making lots of—often bad—jokes in the middle of the narrative, this podcast is not for you.

If you don’t mind that, they do a great job of deep diving into the history of despicable people.
