Don't know what prompted me to watch this, but there go 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Bloody hell.
Bezos & Musk on Population

A scanned news headline, that Bezos and Musk are both arguing we need a vastly bigger population, citing the ludicrous reasons that we would, out of this, get more geniuses, Einsteins, Mozarts, Michaelangelos, DaVincis, etc.
This is of course complete and utter self-serving bollocks, and the fact they dared to even utter it speaks as to why they should in no ways be in the position they're in.
"Our economy depends on it..."
No, it does not. Not in the least. Their WEALTH depends on it, on a perpetual stream of lowly paid workers, on an increased number of customers, wage slaves and consumers.
They depend on it. Much like malarial mosquitos would lobby for more humans.
The world, it's resources, are stretched even now to the absolute breaking point. Climate change may well have already tipped the scales and we're all just awaiting the fall.
Zuckerberg, even as I write this, is building a post-apocalyptic bunker to shelter in in Hawaii.
If Bezos or Musk were even slightly concerned about the lack of geniuses in the world they'd be building cathedrals, commissioning paintings and art galleries, executing their divine rite of patronage, donating to universities, schools, paying for Opera, Commissioning Music, Theatre, Film, etc, or investing in public spaces, and a thousand other such trifles that build the spirit of the age and encourage genii to flourish. But the spirit of this age is, already, "every man for himself", and as it stands their community contributions constitute the smallest fraction of their earnings. And by "earnings" I mean pillaging, for they've together earned nothing, merely arrived at the right time, right place, to exploit those who do the work.
Instead, it's "SpaceX" and "Blue Origin", vanity projects that will take them to the stars while our earth is destroyed.
These people, they are despicable, the worst parts of ourselves that we've allowed, encouraged even, to flourish and prosper. No reputable journalist should give voice to their nonsense.
It's time.
YouTube: Quantum AI Elon Musk Scam

I mean, Elon Musk is a scammer for sure, but this is hilarious...
YouTube, frequently in the ads that pop up, I get one with Elon Musk telling me that I've been selected ... one of 45 people... he doesn't know how, specially selected.
And I know it's a scam, I mean, know, but if I didn't the fact that I've received this ad a few times would tell me...I'm being selected...again and again.
And I've never listened to it to the end, he wants to make me rich, he's just that sort of guy, at which point I'm off listening to or watching the content I came for, but I know people - I mean; how stupid do you have to be to fall for this, yet, here we are, they wouldn't be running it if they weren't making a killing...
Now, at what point does Google/YouTube start becoming responsible for the ads they run?
It's like Facebook, which, while I report any number of their ads - for adult websites, or underaged girls in lingerie asking me to like their photos - who vets these things? I mean, it's the wild west out there, and they seem to put the onus on their customers to report these things - and - who knows if they actually stop running the ads, I think they just stop showing them to the complainer, they probably make too much off of them to be picky, so run adult content, illegal content even, make the money, and hide it when people complain.
I almost feel like I'm being a poor sport about it all...
