Basically a lot of people here sounds like communists themselves — they want to encourage people only to accumulate wealth in secret, as though the masses can’t tolerate people of disparate means living side by side. As though the point of freedom tech is to secure your bag and disappear into your citadel.
Instead of walking down the street in broad daylight, going zero fucks what anyone thinks about it because you earned it, and it’s freedom tech which makes it very hard to confiscate.
"As though the masses can’t tolerate people of disparate means living side by side."

And I'm sorry to disagree so strongly.
Don't take it personally, please.
I thank you for expressing your point of view, and I'm listening to your podcast now, wouldn't have found it if I didn't disagree with you first.
Thank you.
Fair enough — appreciate that.
Don’t mind strident disagreement, feel free to savage my arguments all you want.
My only issue was being called a spook which is as disqualifying to your reputation in these circles as being a racist would be in Twitter circles (and I’ve been called that too for expressing heterodox views.
But very rare to get an apology on any kind of social media, so respect for that.
