What I would pay to see the look on his face when he finally realizes he is God.
How recontextualization creates a joke:
This is brutally accurate. I wish I knew this 25 years ago.
This is the best argument against democracy and populism. This is why democracy and populism struggle so much. Intelligence is really challenging to scale across hundreds of millions of people. In a sense, you could think of mankind's #1 developmental challenge as: how do we make everyone intelligent? Mankind has been chipping away at this problem for 10,000 years and we still haven't solved it. What is the solution?

This is comforting to listen to if you're into this work we do.
Intelligence is a lonely game.
Schopenhauer is my spirit animal.

Rockefeller is also a prime example of Stage Blue. The power of Stage Blue. The religious work ethic of Stage Blue can build empires.
This is eye-opening. It's important to understand just how vile and soul-crushing the industrial work was in the late 1800s. What a horrible era in human history. A mechanical Hell.
Once you understand that context, you can forgive Communists for being so hasty. Who wants to wait around for this capitalism beast to die of natural causes? Put your shoulder to it and push!
It's important to acknowledge that despite their failures, these socialist movements did give us the 8 hour work day and 5 day work week. That's so taken for granted today. If you had to work 14 hour days, 6 days a week in an oily factory, you would want to be a Communist too.
