Rewatching ALIEN: COVENANT, which supposes a fantastical sci-fi future where a billionaire cares about big philosophical questions and has knowledgeable opinions about opera
He still thought we was smarter than everyone and was personally responsible for loosing the Alien scourge on the world. Billionaires need high taxes the same way junkyard dogs need high fences with strong, locked gates.
Yes, I am sort of always thinking about that thread on reconsidering what it means to rebel against The Canon if our actual elites mostly operate at the sophistication level of South Park
Terrible movie start to finish
To be fair we only have one billionaire that shares their thoughts so openly. Elon absolutely cares about big philosophical questions and thinks he knows about opera. Granted he's an absolute braindead fucking moron, but still
I mean he funded all that to try to cheat death so it's not that far fetched...
It's supposed to be science fiction, Ridley, not fantasy
There’s a part of me that just wants to go back and rewrite all these movies, books, comic books and other fiction with the knowledge we have now about how petty and short-sighted real billionaires are.
Absurd made up nonsense, impossible
To be fair, some of them do care about big philosophical questions, it's just that a lot of them have awful answers (see how some of them think LLMs are going to be sapient superintelligent AIs)....
