The fact that ANYONE thought ZUck’s motto was clever in anyway, just show how stupid and/or hypnotized we all are
I don’t know how anyone ever thought Zuckerberg was a decent human being. He has been telling us otherwise, quite clearly, at every opportunity. That motto is just another piece of evidence.
Naah. Within a controlled, small environment it works.
At a scale where the product influences how people see reality then it doesnt work.
I guess the real show of stupidity was how we let a tech startup shape our vision of reality itself.
Move fast and break regulations that gave people a respectable life.
Move fast and break things that someone else ends up paying to fix
If there’s one characteristic I’ve noticed of the rich, it’s to offset risk on to others. Always have someone else do you dirty work.
Companies have become experts in socializing risk to tax payers while privatizing profits to shareholders.
And we all let them do this.
Break other people’s things, repeatedly charge them to fix it without fixing it, pay politicians to make it illegal for someone else to fix it.
I mean… Pretty much a clever idea.
Use other peoples money to drop a bomb on the current system economically. When its reduced to rubble put a flag up saying that its your rubbles and then watch as people slowly and desperately try to put it back together using their own money, and then start sucking the blood and life out of it and using the rebuilt infrastructure as if it was really yours all along. Didnt you see the flag?
It helps to have rich friends that you dont actually care about to abuse their money and then abuse their influence and power of politics to keep anyone else from trying to build an alternative.
It really is just make others pay for everything all the time, as a game to those who already have more than enough.
I don’t think it’s even clever. Sociopathic behavior is mostly fairly obvious. It isn’t that they think to do things we never considered; it’s that we consider and reject those ideas because they are obviously harmful to others.
In the past, societies dealt with people like that by shunning, imprisoning, or executing them. Now a significant part of the public idolizes them and just wishes they could get away with the same crimes. That scares me more than than people like Marc and Elon. It’s hard to enforce laws against criminal behavior when a large part of the population thinks it’s all okay.
Yeah, and yet we dont do that now. Seems clever to pick a time when everyone is to complacent to do something about it.
You are right that most of us reject being a monster personally but we aren’t doing anything about it and taking advantage of us seems to be working quite well.
Having worked in the homes of very wealthy folk, I can confirm that “move fast and break things” was always missing the part where the rich bastard’s nanny/gardener/housekeeper/etc takes the blame for shit being broken and gets their pay docked, while the Baby Elon-Zuck-Altmans of the world get an ice cream and a snuggle. Same shit happens when they grow up to be Big Boys.
