    But yeah, a billionaire talking about groceries and homegrown plants, I can imagine his opinion on that would have the same weight as a small kid's opinion on astrophysics

      A small kid might actually come up with something interesting to say on the subject. They tend not to be driven as much by ego.

    I’m fascinated by the fact that such a complete and utter moron, continually proving himself to be such, managed to become so rich.

    Immediately after the idiotic statement about tomatoes, proving that he’s never eaten a homegrown tomato, he then says that the solution to AI induced unemployment is going to be universal high income, as if that greedy MF would ever share a penny, that he didn’t have to.

      You don't need to be very smart to get ahead if you have a little luck and absolutely no morals.

      Being born into wealth is a multiplier.

        Which can also be reframed as: our current system explicitly incentivises and rewards sociopaths and people emulating their behaviours.

        We all know the “reward for hard work” rhetoric is largely bullshit, but I don’t think enough people take that next step through to “reward for actively harming people” being the observable reality. It’s not a natural law that allows sociopaths to win, it’s the choices we as a collective have made and now refuse to back out of.
