Doing the entire “tears in rain” speech from Blade Runner about my life as a venture capitalist investing in software companies - ThreadSky

I feel like, with rare exceptions, people who try to force their status as a 'great person' do end up becoming memorable for the worst things possible.

“Most people live unfulfilled lives because of the way our society is structured” is something I can agree with but lmao at it being because “our IQ isn’t high enough” and we “get worked up at the current thing” which is just reading the news and caring about social issues.

The problem isn’t the IQ of the masses being too low, it’s the EQ of the elite being too low. A society of wise & kind idiots can function, even if it takes time to flourish. A society captured by cruel sociopaths who think themselves geniuses will surge forward, only to rapidly burn itself out.
