    “So 10,000 years ago, or whenever it was, somebody invented the plough, and we all got richer…. I’m talking about all of civilization, these tools increase our abundance, and that pattern will continue.”

    Can’t fucking help himself but think of how to get richer. He just came out and said it with his little unrelated example: “this is so we can get richer”… Who’s “we”? They want you to think it could one day be you, but we know that’s the opposite of what they think.

    Must be so fucking hard to imagine a technological advance that doesn’t make you richer as priority #1, but helps people instead.
