If the ultra-rich want to escape from reality — good riddance

Sometimes I can feel irrationally upset with movies with an incredible hypothesis that is implemented badly. “Creator”, for example, was only the art of amazing concept without a conspiracy or behavior. It made me watch angry because such a beautiful garbage was lost. “Civil war“He was a political neutral, with such wooden characters, so that she lost a complete opportunity to explain the growing tensions in this country or how to move in them. It was free of risks, context and depth, and full waste for 109 minutes. But for me, the opportunity was the greatest and the latest is lost.” she”Leave the world behind“2023 movie funded by Barack and Michelle ObamaNot less than that, it is amazing.
It is recognized for him to take some freedoms, the plot can be summarized in this way: the global elite is launched on an endless leave away from the standards, which allows the world to collapse because people realize that there is nothing that really collects it. The script of the writer and director Sam Asmil plays something like a bad bad movie, without any discount, as a confused family in the remote rural Airbnb, trying to know the reason for the Internet’s exit. As much as we can say, the government only disappears – perhaps because the executives, politicians and hedge managers are very necessary. Based on the 2020 novel by Rumaan Alam, “Leave the world behind” almost a secular version of the “Left Behind” series, which is I shocked me as a child Only Christians are not absorbing to heaven while everyone suffers from billionaires.
Frankly, this is a load of nonsense in several different ways, but many people take it seriously. There is a great thing about “Rich Prepters“Those who build huge and expensive warehouses in the event of a fan fertilizer. It is not a fantas Civil, or some high -end epidemic, or anything else that causes the collapse of society, or at least global capitalism is no longer able to preserve itself.
These charts and escape plans, and perhaps for sale near you. I am not above from time to time browsing real estate with millions of dollars with highly creative names such as “Las Vegas house undergroundThe author Douglas Rashkov He witnessed this deviant trend directly, and says it was destroyed by elites to get advice to design the resurrection day warehouses and adapt to an isolated future from the upcoming collapse.
There is a great thing about the “wealthy preppers” who build huge and expensive warehouses in the event of a fan fertilizer.
In his book 2022, “Staying richest: escaping from the fantasy of technical billionairesRushkoff explains how this position permeates everything from colonies to space colonies, and writing: “whether on Earth, at sea, or in outer space, searching for the rule of the main fantasies, Ayn Rand from the technical elite: the most escape Rightly and productive among us to follow their own interests, which are authorized to build an independent economy of their own, free from the moral consequences of their actions. “
I can sympathize with the motivation to survive – this encrypted in our DNA or something like that – but I can’t overcome the misfortune of this mentality. Rushkoff briefly puts it on the reason for the failure of the fantasies after the horrific in the sheikh who is the student who reads a lot:
“What I came to is that these men are in fact the losers. The billionaires who called me to the desert to assess their warehouse strategies are not the victory of the economic game as much as the victims of its limited bases. From money to isolate themselves from the damage they create by earning money in this way.
You do not need to waste time in the ethics of waving Hasta La Vista on the masses, and I do not think it is useful to discuss whether or not bridging or not. I am sure that these warehouses do not have half a good validity period as announced. The best wealthy hopes to get what they paid for it: After the drop of bombs is a bad time to know that your oxygen filter was on Fritz or has eaten everything you have The end of the world bucket Before you reach it.

If this is a good idea, perhaps these people should do so. Stop ingredient to us and go. Last month, RealTor.com A profile appeared about what was described as “the luxury resurrection day, which has only 300 million dollars with automatic medical wings, a luxurious swimming pool, and luxury food restaurants”, which “was appointed to a revolution in how the wealthy and powerful revolution in themselves in an end disaster The world. “If I have billions of dollars, I may buy something like this too. Not enough money has been shown at all to see if you are more than selling. It looks much better than Larping “Mad Max”, although it also looks like a NEO version that crawled again in the matrix, and swings like a afraid puppy.
However, if you are a financial package with a ticket from here, please do not hesitate. Mars or high -tech version of your mother’s basement. Bring your Savana cats Gucci bags are with you. I think all farmers will do well enough without you. Without the rulers of capitalism, will the world end? It is a gamble that many of us are ready to take it.
If this is a good idea, perhaps these people should do so. Stop ingredient to us and go.
After all, again in the real world at the present time, the wealthy are the biggest reason that this planet is burning to fragile. Not only the wealthy It absorbs more natural resources Of the people in other income arches, they bring out inconvenient levels of greenhouse gas emissions that cook the world faster. One 2023 Oxfam report I found that the richest 1 % emitted from the pollution of the planet like two -thirds of humanity, which in 2019, translated into about 1.3 million over heat deaths. The 1.5 degrees Celsius set by the Paris Climate Agreement was not just an introductory scale. We also go beyond these limits – Which appears to happen in 2024 With no end on the horizon – it will be translated into tangible and measurable death on a scale that is difficult to calculate.
As the ground cooking, more viruses emerge. the The feedback ring for climate change and epidemics firm. Viruses need tanks in the form of animals (Often bats) While we destroy habitats that allow wild creatures to survive, pathogens make jumping to humans. We have seen it with viruses including Ebola, Nipah, SARS-1, MERS and SARS-COV-2. we In the process of bird influenza. Other diseases are likely to be on the horizon.
Perhaps few like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel are not understanding us to the abyss. Or perhaps they do, and they only think they can escape in time. I would like to suggest that they stop reading Ray Bradbury. ” Mars recordsAnd the reading of Edgar Alan Bo.Red death mask“Instead, as a noble disguise ball intersects during the brutal plague by the dark Ripper. Because despite what is vampire in the silicon valley who hope to overcome death, they do not want to believe it, there is no escape.
This will not prevent them from trying. But what are they really trying to build? In his book, Rushkoff to remember Timothy Lerry tells him that Bruce technology “wants to re -create the uterus”:
As LEARY, the psychologist, the children who build our digital future are developing technology to simulate the ideal women – those whose mothers can never be. Unlike their human mothers, you can expect an algorithm to predict all their needs in advance and provide them directly, and remove every trace of friction And longing. These men will be able to float in their virtual bubbles – what the media laboratory called the “artificial environment” – and they do not have to face the cruel chaotic reality required of people who live in a real world with women and people of colors and even those who have different views. “
I say let them get it and leave the rest of us. One of the last questions deserves our attention: If the wealthy people are good in designing unmountable automatic homes, then why can they not build a better world for all of us? I really don’t think that intense wealth makes people without heart or evil, although it may flourish in such tendencies. The real answer is that the rich elites are superior and do not know what the hell is right. They could not make a better world if they tried. Flash News: They do not already run this place. In the end, the human nature governs, not the other way around. We cannot escape from that. Even our technology is normal, in the true sense: it depends entirely on the resources derived from our environment, and it works according to the laws of physics.
The wealthy cannot escape, although they can definitely try, and they may kill themselves and many of us in this process. The activist also stopped the oil Roger Halim, who is serving a prison sentence for his climate activity, told Matthew Rosa.“This is not something” rich in exchange for the poor. ” And evil. What we are talking about is the death project.
When the spiritual teacher Ram Das He was met Allen Gusberg in the 1980s, discussed how the TV invention had led people to be less sympathetic and suffer from irregular things. In our time, VR glasses and artificial intelligence girlfriends make this problem more severe. In that conversation, Gensburg noticed that “the removal of humanity is a funny type of enlightenment.” Indeed, extremist rich on the road to a higher understanding. Who am I to say?
But Ginsburg warned that abstraction from humanity “did not suggest sympathy, tenderness, mutual participation, or the nature of the Buddha as a substitute.
In the underground rooms where it is believed that the vitality can escape from their sins, there is one fact that hesitates more clearly than their misleading attempt to preserve the self: they are not real gods hiding underground-they are worms.
