Silicon Valley has always been a clown show

Not a single person in this video is self-aware. They are completely unaware of how ironically terrible everything that they say is. Even the producers of the video thought that this was a good thing, a world of rich people deciding for everyone else how the world was going to look.

But they’re all morons, shallow—so shallow!—and so convinced that they’re right, that there’s nothing more to discuss, that they’ve missed nothing. They are incurious because they’ve got it all figured out.

They’re making money, after all! How else would you know you’re right if not by how rich you’ve gotten? That’s how you find the smartest, most valuable, most industrious people: Sort them all by the amount of money they have, in descending order, then take the top 10. Voila. Those are the people who should be running things.

It’s so easy because it’s obvious. But it’s not surprising that we can’t figure that out, ya know? Because we’re not rich. If we were rich, then we’d already have known this obvious, obvious fact. And, if we’d already known it, then we’d be rich. Q.E.D.
