I had that thought of what I would do if I had that kind of money and I'd probably fund a number of public gardens across the US for people to enjoy. I love Carnegie libraries and the one in my hometown growing up was a big part of why I love reading today, so I can say that Andrew Carnegie has had a big impact on me personally through being a public works rich guy, and I am sure that kind of philanthropical pursuit does not even slightly factor into Elon's noodle brain

They convince the rich people that simply being a rich person in tech in and of itself is a far greater benefit to humanity than anything else.

Elon’s a little unique in that while a lot of them want to be liked, he wants to be liked for being a funny poster specifically

PostNouveau posted:The Waltons built a $1 billion art museum in the middle of nowhere Arkansas, and as far as monuments to the ego of the ultrawealthy go, it's pretty great. At least I can buy a ticket and go enjoy it for an afternoon. They also turned Bentonville (where the museum is) into a world class Mountain Bike destination.

Australian mineral billionaire Clive Palmer bought his favorite golf course and covered it in giant dinosaur statues. Much better than Musk's epic memelord bullshit.

porfiria posted:What I don’t get is why these dudes never make an insane 500 million dollar movie or tv show or performance art or something. Wouldn’t that be more fun than stupid business bullshit? I think the deal is that if you're someone who "makes" a billion dollars you're a business psycho lizard person. People like Bezos or Gates don't really want anything outside of being a corporate king. The acquisition of power and wealth is the goal, not what you can do with that power or wealth.

Everyone can see you liked the tweet man!

The hosts go on too long riffs that aren’t very funny and kind of speak in a way to each other where Matt can’t get in much of a word.

His Talking Simpsons episode with Virgil (George Bush Snr ep) was great and you could tell how passionate they were about it, but I heard him guest on some other podcast during his weird gnostic phase and it was dogshit.
