The real question of the H1B drama is: do you want a culture? Or are you ok with tech cantillionaires strip mining everything you love so they can accelerate this nightmare into the Singularity? They really really hate this world and want to merge with AI ASAP. Do you, too? 🤔

Inflation demands that they seek ever cheaper sources of labour. But profit isn’t their main motivation; immortality beyond these mortal coils is. They’ve never had the opportunity to appreciate life and culture in this realm, so they actively seek its disappearance into the ether of the ‘hive mind’. Vampires.
In the end, isn’t the quest for immortality the ultimate fiat wet dream? Runaway inflation means you won’t be able to create a legacy. You will be forgotten within the fiat churn. So the goal must be to last, if not exactly ‘live’ forever. Couple that with an inability to appreciate the material things of one’s world (like one’s own body), and you have the psychological makeup of the tech cantillionaire, conditioned by fiat. It’s puerile escapism—from life itself. nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy
