The only reason we listen to billionaires is because because they have a billion dollars. The only reason they have a billion dollars is because they were willing to profit obscenely from an unjust system and accept the role of being the standard bearers for inequality. Think about that.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al this is why it rubs me the wrong way when people ignore my technical advice
am I basically nobody? yes
am I still offering sound and important advice that experts should listen to? also yes
often when I'm ignored for long enough people begin realizing that despite my lack of status I know what the hell I'm saying still lol
@froge Clearly you haven’t benefitted financially from exploiting enough people and/or our habitat yet. Would you be open to destroying a rainforest? I think that might help.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al woah you're right, it's almost like I intentionally chose the harder path that makes me a better person or something LOL
