Thank God they’re mostly just broken, weak, hedonistic and distracted men with daddy issues without remarkable intellects and not a group of Henry Kissingers. 🥲
If they were half as smart as they think they are, they would have understood empathy and sought help to understand themselves. Instead, they have fallen to capitalist propaganda and believe the delusion that they are the smartest, biggest dickest boys because they have a hoarding problem that is rewarded when they lack empathy and exploit others.
If they were half as smart as they think they are, they wouldn’t be billionaires.
We would be better off with more educated, empathetic people. Exactly why capitalism does its best to fight against that and prefers mindless slaves to serve a wealthy upper class. By not being educated we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Welcome back fascism and feudalism, now with fresha, new technological spin.
Dude, they ARE the capitalist propaganda. I don’t believe for a second they don’t know what they’re doing. Dilusional, yes, but still understanding.
They know what they’re doing while surrounding themselves with yes men to reinforce their delusions, never challenging their thoughts and ideology. Billionaires managed to socialize sycophancy psycohosis with AI.
They’re absolutely capitalist propaganda exactly because they’re too underdevoloped and immature to recognize empathy. Instead, in their selfish beliefs, they want to escape to mars, or bunkers, or inside machines (even though the current consciousness would still end the dumbfucks.)
They know what they’re doing, absolutely. You don’t need to be a genius intellect to steal from others, especially when you have the funding to pay others to find ways to scam and steal for you.
They’re literally devolved humans in that they are unlearning empathy, that which we evolved and gave rise to our current age through community building, teaching, learning, and understanding. Just like racism must be learned, loss of empathy is learned, and the capitalist system they’ve built, knowingly or unknowingly, reinforces that to the nth degree.
The smartest.and most radical action against them is to embrace empathy and build community and separate systems to the capitalist monstrosity, taking their power from them.
So yes. They’re deluded idiots. They know what they’re doing, but it doesn’t take much intelligence to do what they’re doing, it just takes capital and being willing to exploit others.
Would we though? Actual intelligent people tend to consider the greater good.
Actually wise people*, you can be intelligent and remain a selfish, sociopathic waste of skin.
If they considered the greater good, they wouldn’t be billionaires, catch 22.
There is a probematic split, probably due to capitalism favoring stem education, between what we consider intelligent and wisdom. The latter is cultivated from engaging with “idle” topics such as philosophy, art, history and cultures, all that stuff that doesnt make any money and takes time spent not working.
So naturally these arent things the oligarchy engages with in any way that is conducive to the development of actual ethical beliefs, morals, or feelings of social responsibility. This is reinforced by the fact that those ethics would conflict with their entire existence and role in society, and self interest wins out.
Exactly.
“actual intelligence” doesn’t exist. There’s just educated people
Nonsense.
Actual intelligent people by IQ or by education? Those are the ones working for the Billionaires, pushing shit ads to our eyeballs and enshittifying platforms for us.
Actual intelligent people by street smarts are pushing for democracy, better technology, better education, but their voices are being drowned out by the wave of hate caused by lack of adult education.
Education doesn’t mean intelligent. There’s plenty of educated idiots.
Completely agree. And that’s why the second part of my comment. Actually intelligent ppl are protesting the world over right now.
Problem is they pay people to be smart for them. Most of them are just selfish dumbasses.
I’m confused. They think they are smart, let’s say an IQ of 150. If they were half as smart, they would have an IQ of 75, but it’s the IQ they already have, there would be no difference.
Billionaires think they have an IQ of 1000.
The implication is their IQ is currently well below 75.
They think they are smart, let’s say an IQ of 150
I think the point is that they are a bunch of narcissists that think they are way smarter than that.
Those robots look like they would be a lot of fun to drag out into a field and smash with bats and pipes like a printer.
Usually there’s something wrong in their brains. Most people don’t like to screw over other people, but they do, and they think they’re so smart for finding a “loophole”.
Billionaires are aggressive, their drive to dominate is what makes them rich, not their intelligence. When you’re not concerned about consequences or how you’re perceived, it’s very easy to step over people without losing sleep.
