This is how humanity’s story ends, with proudly irresponsible capitalists with god complexes harnessing and packaging technologies they don’t even care to understand or consider the consequences of, believing society will pay to repair any “externality” they cause.

Greedy, impulsive monkeys with nukes.

    I should probably add: Bezos grew up on a “farm” but it was really just a fantasy role play kind of thing that was built by his rich grandfather. Yes, he worked very hard on that farm. But his survival didn’t depend on it. He was still born with every advantage that a real farmer from “back in the day” would not have.
