With all the creepy psycho shit the people like Elon and Altman say, I genuinely think if they walked down a street and saw like a pretty flower or a bluejay landing in a tree they'd be like "AHHHH! Disgusting biomass! I wish to trample it and cover it in concrete!"

Is there any warmth or beauty or wonder within them now? Do you think they've ever looked at a sunset or someone playing a nice song on a guitar or ate a tasty meal and felt anything? Or are they just husk people?

At least the rich assholes of the past went on Safaris and cruises around the Aegean and shit.

These fuckers become even richer than those guys and just post on twitter and monitor their son's masturbation.

I guess you sort of have that with the space obsession but it's less about being an explorer and more about opening up new avenues for profit.

Wasn't European exploration funded as an avenue to find more profit tho?
