they think just because they are rich through one bright idea in their life they are smarter than the rest of us. Why not put their money where their mouth is and run for office themselves - a la Trump? too chicken??? Oh the hybris!

Well and a lot of them had a head start--they ain't no rags to riches Horatio Alger heroes; What's that phrase--"Born on third base but they think they hit a home run?"

But yeah, I roll my eyes that they think that wealth = "I should rule humanity bc I know best."

What I really can't stomach though, is all the people NOT in billionaire class who believe same. America won't make it thru this time in a healthy way if We The People keep looking for earthly savior-kings.

Bill Gates' "bright idea" was the theft of software, which he then engineered for planned obsolescence via the bloating of the Windows registry. He timed the cycle to match the development of new main processors, and then bundled a copy of Windows with each new computer.

He's only ever been good at killing, stealing, and destroying. This explains his prominent position in the world.

His true and only skill is as an opportunist, nothing else.

Gates, an opportunistic infection, is one heartbeat away from seeing his creator face-to-face. God will not be mocked.

I got philanthropaths from Margaret Anna Alice. She has a substack and whole post on the term, which is just too apt, sadly.

But you are right--it is hate!

And Jeff apparently coined it term Apocaloptimist. Of late I have been feeling better knowing how hard it actually is to kill off a species, especially one as dispersed and diverse as ours.

Philanthropists? Seriously? All of their so called philanthropic organizations both generate enormous profits and tax shelters at the same time.
