Sam Altman – a world with trillionaires is inevitable
- thaumasiotes 10y agoWell sure. That's the whole concept of "inflation". If we constantly revalued money such that gross world product was a trillion dollars, trillionaires would not be inevitable. Despite a nod to the fact that, adjusting for inflation, John D. Rockefeller was several times richer than Bill Gates, this whole article seems to be nothing more than a weird ritualistic focus on a particular numeric value of a fiat currency. Such a figure is completely meaningless.
- paavokoya 10y ago>seems to be nothing more than a weird ritualistic focus on a particular numeric value of a fiat currency That is what gives fiat value though.. If people lose faith or focus, much like a religion, the currency crashes and hyper-inflates. You see this with other countries' currencies all the time.
- thaumasiotes 10y agoNot at all. The currency hyperinflates if it starts getting produced in massive quantities. Then people lose faith.
- eip 10y agoIt's naive to assume there are no trillionaires currently. You really think the Forbes richest list represents the actual richest people on earth? If you have a bit of time to kill google 'Spiritual Wonder Boy'.
- wreff 10y agoCan you link a source that isn't batshit crazy?
- meursault334 10y agoI did this and the first page is all incoherent claims about quadrillion of dollars. Do you have a link that explains this conspiracy theory more concisely and clearly?
