They’re dumb, not handicapped. An idiot is still culpable for the damage they do. We’re all just lucky they aren’t smart enough to effect their malice.
Comment on CEO brains go brrrrr
Chocrates@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoEh I think it does us a disservice to call the rich idiots. Sure some are, but strips agency from them for the real damage they do.
Elon is at least smart enough to turn his emerald slave money into billions.

That’s not a sign of intelligence, it’s just that he had so much money, he could afford to fail a bunch of times, so he could get lucky every once in a while

And this pattern holds across a shitload of rich people too. Singers who could afford to not have to have that waitress job and just focus on promotion. ‘Entrepreneurs’ who got ‘small’ ‘loans’ to start their 10th business that finally hit. Real estate moguls who had actual intelegnt people bring them plans they rubber stamped and claimed to be brilliant businessmen.
They are rich so they must be smart is the biggest pile of bullshit.
