I would like society to move away from considering the amount of wealth you hoard at all comparable to value as a person

All those assholes care about is "winning." You'll need a scoring system that replaces wealth that is more widely & consistently used to rank them than money currently is. Good luck with that.

I think the amount of wealth you hoard is an excellent proxy for your value as a person. Society does seem to have it backwards though.

I mean. It is negatively correlated imo.

Or their intelligence. Just watched an episode of The Dropout where some dumb guy says "You think I'm dumb? I made 50 million dollars!"

I like it when fiction so perfectly encapsulates reality.

Ah, another variation of "when I'm out of arguments I still have my two fists". Weirdly I can never find this one on those sites with Glenn Danzig quotes.

The truth hurting too much, Musk?

Malica@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 5d

Lol the guy is well liked and respected. Musk is... not. I don't see this strategy working out.

Tough, self-assured, emotionally-mature, thick-skinned, honest paragon of truth, Elon?

Nah.

I figured he would be happy someone was so interested in him they made a whole film. Closest thing he will ever get to having someone care about him.
