General Discussion

These rich assholes think they're experts on everything because they inevitably get surrounded by yes men and sycophants. Mark Zuckerberg is an expert on a few things, it helped him build a social media empire. But that empire touches all parts of life now and he seems to think he's an expert on all things now. How to raise your children, how to deal with diseases and politics, how to apply AI to the world etc.etc.

We as a society worship these billionaires and assign them all sorts of wisdom that they simply don't have. So people are going to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to ask them their opinions on things they know absolutely nothing about. Things like elementary education, morality, and environment. And then we hang on every word, as if Elon Musk is going to tell us what works in a 4th grade classroom more accurately than literally hundreds of thousands of grade school teachers can. And I believe that all becomes intoxicating for them, they start to believe that, "yeah, maybe I am an expert on all things, maybe my opinion should carry weight on literally every issue."

And that's what got us Trump. A man WHO is sure he knows more about every single subject than actual experts. And an audience who thinks, "Well, he's a multi billionaire, so it's worth listening to him on any subject." And that's where we are, and entire nation slave to the whims of know nothing billionaires whose only qualifications to speak on 99% of the subjects they speak on is that they're rich.
