Check paulg’s tweet history. A few weeks ago he lamented how fake things are in the US, pointing at things like Kraft singles. I don’t have a Twitter account but almost went to sign up to reply “billionaires whose wealth is based on mathematical inference not possession of tens of billions of real dollars.” I say let’s automate away book smart, street stupid easily deluded normal humans who end up optimizing for themselves while roleplaying something more egalitarian is afoot with their games. Letting a minority monopolize agency is not a greater good as there are no greater goods. It’s typical political corruption. Automate away politicians, VCs, C*O level; organizing life in line with religious traditions is not sacrosanct. Why is organizing life under the prior 60-70 years so special? Ooh right; cause that cohort is where all the wealth is captured. Silly me. Looks like it’s time to revisit Reagan’s policy of expropriating retirement for the youth to invest.
