Richard Buckminster Fuller - "The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors."

Bezos dick rocket in space - “We need to take all heavy industry, all polluting industry and move it into space. It’s one planet, and we share it and it’s fragile. ... We live on this beautiful planet. You can’t imagine how thin the atmosphere is when you see it from space. We live in it and it looks so big. It feels like this atmosphere is huge and we can disregard it and treat it poorly.”

America is the land of subscriptions and passive income, and MLM. America is cold and callus and really doesn’t care about people (I mean this as a whole). The desensitization of America.
