He also decided the only thing he never needed to eat was fruit and basically overloaded his system with sugar.

Steve Jobs is a bad example though because he was a nutcase before he was rich.

gentrification is a somewhat complicated subject and the blame for driving out the locals is ill-targeted on the slightly richer person moving in. the blame lies on the slumlords and politicians who had no intention of cultivating a neighborhood to begin with. they sellout as soon as the offer is large enough, then you have good old capitalism appealing to the lowest common denominator, and the neighborhood becomes McMansions. new people move in because their only other option is to not move to the city at all.


tl;dr gentrification is easy to avoid, and is arguable one of the specific tasks a city council
should address, but the gormless officials are typically not interested in making things better for everyone, preferring instead to make things better for themselves.

understand what the rentier class is, and support policies that undermine them, first and foremost. ignorant people with sophomoric ideas of what gentrification actually is aren’t the appropriate target.

no

the idea that you can break individual human behavior down into clean formulas like that is a lie, one that's been sold to you by economists to convince you that the capitalists just have to oppress you because it's economically optimal

there is no "pure formula" in the first place

Change Your Perspective

When you woke up today you were a
little tired, maybe a bit hungry. Maybe you
checked your mail and fretted over bills. Outside
it might be a bit too hot, or cold. Maybe
you have a headache right now, or you’re
contemplating the fact that you weigh a bit
too much, or too little. But that’s living, right?

Wrong. It’s the Lie.

To the Silver Ladder, each and every one of
these discomforts is a crime, imposed by the
Exarchs when they denied Supernal privileges
to the rest of humanity. Your animal pains,
finite wealth, unfulfilled dreams and eventual
death are curses. You deserve to be a god,
and you will, even if the order must set the
heavens aflame to make it so.

i used to think that people born into wealth should be allowed amnesty should they choose since it's not like they had a choice as to which womb they dropped out of, but as ive interacted with more rich people over the years its become clear through observing their interactions with other people of various socioeconomic statuses that being raised rich programs people into some fundamental behaviours and thought patterns that just cant be broken

for the sake of the species, the capitalist class must be exterminated, as the aristocracy before required annihilation

this is all wishful thinking and our grandchildren will toil and die in service to a new biologically immortal aristocracy made unassailable not only by security technology but by simply being inherently superior via genetic engineering

the oppressed will never be uplifted, they will slowly go extinct

americans have taken most of the fish out of sushi, replacing it with the considerably-more-sustainable cream cheese and deep frying. remember: if you get someone via a coronary at 50, that means they don't pollute for the rest of their expected lifespan
