They are not living in reality anymore. There is something within these Techbros that denies consensus reality and substitutes some kind of simulation of their own.
That’s the reason this guy can build a bunker on an island close to the water on a volcano.

Sam Bankman-Fried the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was an effective altruist with a few of his coworkers and their goal was helping people. I was reading up on them and it was initially about feeding people and earning money to give to others. When they started getting more and more money they were like: “what if there’s a zombie outbreak?” Obviously, we’re really smart and society needs people like us to survive so we should be spending money on private islands and having our own country to make sure we can keep humanity going or some shit. It was weird.
Despite what anything thinks about Bill Burr now … I think he had a really good point about these “end of the world” catastrophes – I simply don’t want to be alive for any of them. I don’t wanna be scrounging around the remnants of humanity with a dying ecosystem and dwindling human race.
I agree with Burr’s sentiment. I’ve seriously started thinking about selling my stuff and maybe go a few places to see ppl I care about once more and just exiting when I’m totally broke. Fuck it.

Nu uh uh you can’t get out of it that easy. You have to suffer like the rest of us.
It’s the perfect place for petting their white cat and berating their henchmen while waiting for James Bond to storm the place.
