I agree people are selfish but I disagree on where that leads us. Acting as a collective is the best way to be selfish. Billionaires have their collectives: corporations; and if you don’t do the same then you are not even selfish, you are just cattle.

It often feels like violence.

Wow that’s some arrested development.

“How was the mouth feel of bubba?”

“I don’t want to live in a world where my company isn’t the one company making the world better”

Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.

I get that it takes a lot of anger to say something like that to a random stranger who can’t physically harm you.

China sees AI as a way to juice their growing chip industry.
