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.
