Hey Ed did you see this Silicon Valley VC having a normal one?

I'm good. Pass the ice cream.
These people deserve to be curb-stomped with their own expensive shoes
Until you destroy Ted Faro and the Far Zenith people, that is.
So those poor friends either need to claw their way into the ranks of the elite against impossible odds, or adopt a dog.
Which to be fair also has a lot of real life parallels!
Weeping, pleading with VC people to try and appear normal for one moment.
Remembering something a university colleague said decades ago, "if I see a person trying to hammer a nail into a wall with their forehead, I don't stop and ask them what they're doing, I assume they're fucking nuts and walk faster"
These people are sad and mentally ill. Avoid them.
They're trying to drive a nail with OUR forehead.
We got like half a millennium left before we are bottom feeders, probably less.
ALSO context for those unfamiliar: Horizon Forbidden West is the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn and for reasons we find out in the first game, humanity's progress has
Many of those public figures absolutely did not deserve veneration - a most notable example being Ted Faro
Like a certain Schrödinger's government department head/despot we're having to deal with right now, Faro is a silicon valley techbro who got a lot of positive press in his earlier life but later was... let's just say he was responsible for a Lot Of Bad Things. :' )
But hey, if you can’t be a success , you can always serve as a warning to others of mistakes not to be repeated.
(Unfortunately nothing guarantees people will bother to learn from examples of others, as she herself demonstrates)
I know it’s a bit sexist of an assumption but women generally just don’t act like teenaged nazi edgelords like that

yeah spending all of my free time trying not to be killed by the side effects of this person's mere existence is really just kind of a minor skirmish
That just Eric Erickson's sixth stage of development I think. But terrible. That human needs a real friend.
The entire story is about a Silicon Valley techbro ruining civilization
First because he's a moron, and then he proceeds to ruin all post-apocalyptic shelters, AND the thing designed to recreate society later because he doesn't want to be known as a moron.
Society could have survived two of those, but not three.
THE EMILY!?
The one that funded Vexaltek and slayed Netuserv?
😱 I'm fucking hyper ventilating right now
Reminds me of watching Silicon Valley where it rapidly became uncomfortably uncanny.
Really makes me want to take a short walk off a long pier.
