- idIt works handsomely for the 1%. The rest, well, ...
- gpt-5.1 gave me the correct answer after 2m 17s. That includes retrieving the Euler website. I didn't even have to run the Python script, it also did that.
- Or maybe, just maybe, becoming a billionaire has way more to do with luck than anything else.
I don't know about any billionaire in the history of billionaires who appears to have gotten there solely based on special abilities. Being born into the right circumstances is all it really takes.
- It wouldn't surprise me if healthy, privileged people with access to good healthcare are more optimistic than those with serious illness, no coverage and three shitty jobs.
Hard to be optimistic when you have cancer and can't afford treatment.
- >due to being open minded, adaptable, giving, and curious
And how do you become that? Exactly, by being lucky.
- The other ones I can maybe understand, but why would I be embarrassed to go to water parks?
- When I have been unhappy in my life, it was never about the past or future. It always had to do with the present.
- Start a corporation so that you don't need to sell your soul to corporations?
- Difficult to accomplish when your work is on the computer and the entire entertainment of the world is also on the computer.
- I don't know, I've seen both and they don't really offer any solutions. Plus Dr. K. spouts a lot of pseudoscience and at times even esoteric nonsense.
- To be fair, public is not the same as easily accessible.
- We don't see what they are not reporting.
- Musk didn't start Tesla and he's not the only person working there.
- Trump University was a scam - it didn't stop Trump from being elected.
- I'm unironically sure it's helping their engagement numbers. Someone with the app installed on their phone is going to engage much more frequently.
- It's not a disagreement. You made a false statement, I called it out.
- I don't hate him for being rich, I simply want him to stop polluting excessively. It would help the climate and his message alike.
And I don't buy that you can do your share by talking one way and doing the exact opposite privately. It's like being an animal rights advocate who (openly) tortures animals in their free time. Simply doesn't work that way, even if you save more animals than you torture.
- How is he going to "convince 200,000 people in 5 years" if he isn't even willing to fly first class instead of private? He obviously doesn't care, so he's not going to convince anyone.
- It can be freeing to lie to yourself, but it remains a lie. Of course limiting personal pollution has an effect.

Hard to take Gates seriously on climate change. Imagine everyone was living like this.
