This is the sad part IMHO. A guy who should be regarded as enemy of the people is instead regarded highly just because they happened to win a lottery.
- low_tech_love 4y agoI think about this all the time. First of all it’s not really a lottery, right; it’s worse. Anyone can win a lottery. This is specifically using your smart mind to step on someone else’s heads. But the main point is: what kind of weird twisted fantasy have we put ourselves into? I see genuinely smart (like world-level smart) people arguing 100% seriously that speculating for a fake, useless bitmoney is the same a speculating in the stock market. I mean have we really just completely lost track of what the economy is all about? For some reason I’m thinking about tiktok now and I guess I’ll just have a beer and sleep.
