The true hegemons beyond six degrees of freedom separation from Rupert Murdoch's news and sports media empire likely have a well stocked techno paradise buried

The true hegemons beyond six degrees of freedom separation from Rupert Murdoch's news and sports media empire likely have a well stocked techno paradise buried under the snow in Antartica secured to wait for the return of first spring after nuclear total war.

No doubt the billionaires have already retreated to their shelters. Anyone seen Jeff Bezos in person lately? Peter Thiel? Other billionaires? If their missing from public life it’s cause they’re at their doomsday hideaway. Peter Thiel’s doomsday retreat is in New Zealand. He became a New Zealand citizen just so he could buy it. I’ll bet you $5 he’s in NZ right now.

  I seriously doubt billionaires would be willing to live in a post-apocalyptic world: they have the most to lose. They live like kings right now, so I bet they would do anything to avoid the Armageddon, no matter how well stocked their shelters are.

    Yeah, bad for business. I wonder though if that stance is helpful to the general population. They are used to power. That can come in two forms at least, standing up to dictators or hoping to make shady deals with them. (Or hoping to containing the dictators somehow.)

Lol, I love how you go to Murdoch looking over the largest group of people that have said most of humanity isn't needed, that people should eat bugs for the environment, and “At Davos a few years ago [surveys] showed us that the good news is the elite across the world trust each other more and more,” she said. “So we can come together and design and do beautiful things together. “The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted their elite less. So we can lead but if people aren’t following we aren’t going to get to where we want to go.” They definitely have a bunker, and probably feel like a few nukes handles some population issues.
