    They all do this. San francisco used to be the old hyperliterate drug fueled counterculture mecca. So they still identify with that, and there’s still like vestigial aesthetic shreds of the old city’s corpse hanging off their beloved Moloch (howl-written in San Francisco). So they see literary allusions and implying they’ve read books as cool. Especially the ones who came up in the 80s and 90s when the old literate hippies could still afford to live there.

    But none of them have read more than one book, because one is enough to reference, right? and they didn’t understand it. So mike zuckerberg read ‘snow crash’ and is just doing all the evil shit from ‘snow crash’. Thiel read LOTR. Whoever keeps giving money to ‘ai children’s toy’ read ‘diamond age’.

    Because they see is=aught and can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality on an emotional level, being shit heads who fundamentally disrespect the very concept of humanities and have no interiority.

    It’s how it works. You don’t own one. You own 5% of twenty things, derivatives in ten others, and one chunk of money in a hedge fund that has you diversified into literally everything.

    Its not a conspiracy. Nothing is behind closed doors here. It’s literally ‘diversify your investments’. The first thing literally any competent investment advisor tells you.

    But ownership is much more abstracted now, so shares aren’t just shares, they’re bundled and derived, until derivative bundle derivative product bundle derivatives are 10% of your portfolio. It’s literly just a matter of class now. The actual money doesn’t matter.
