when you type stuff like this, is there even the smallest part of you that hesitates and thinks that maybe what you're really saying is: 'i personally have never known and cannot imagine anything in this life except money'?

It's all money. I am being able to post on 4chan because my parents paid for internet connection. My computer costed money. All is money. It is like John Stuart Mill when said there is nothing exceptional to him because anyone would have end up like him if they got same education as him.

I gained tons of knowledge why because I mooched off my parents.

I remember really liking You Must Remember This. Great novel about an incestuous relationship between a washed-up boxer and his teenage niece. He's a pathetic monster. Her journals are good too, which is surprising, writers' journals are rarely good if they're published while the writer's still alive.

The latter doesn't follow, that suggests instead that food is more important than money. Money will be important, but always of less importance than the things sought with money.

We're talking about a man who, on the exact same day, will give a lecture about how his life's work will lead to the diminishment of the human race and our replacement by technological forces, and then later worry that humans are losing their will to achieve glory and transcendence. We are talking about a man who has done nothing but debase us and then blames us, yells at us and sends his scorn to the 99.9% for being weak and complacent. He is the embodiment of everything wrong with modernity. Cancerous tumors like Elon Musk must be removed in order for our societies to survive.

Cope. Joyce Carol Oates's Xitter is 50+% seething about the GOP. There's a lot more getting mad at Trump or Elon than there is appreciation for nature or cats or friends or whatever present in her own account. The "I am more educated and cultured" thing doesn't really work when your behavior is indistinguishable from Elon's with a thin veneer of 2014 "heckin doggos" Reddit painted over it.

to be truthful this is the first time I heard her name. However instead of using OP image to show me something about her writing, you instead chose to post her liberal street-cred by dog-piling on someone because the blue-check crowd says so. I might have checked something of hers out had you not decided the best way to present me to her literarily was to announce her political ideas. You turned me off by this. You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and now I never will go look.

I'm bout to eat deer burgers for dinner, with potatoes my neighbor grew in the garden. Dinner was free and better for me than spending that money. Money is as important as you make it be for your own view of the world. The OP image? She doesn't *really* think those things about him and she doesn't know. She's only dog-piling on because her blu-check crowd says to do it. When kids join in picking on the person a few bullies re picking on? She's just one of the kids doing it for fun. She's a ball of shit.

you refuse to hate the man because you don't know anything about him because you're an ignorant retard living at least 5 years in the past. Everybody else from half a dozen fields of interest have heard Musk attempt to speak intelligently, be it AI, space travel, engineering, crypto, programming, or plain old video games, and understand him to be a faggot fraud and outright liar (see, path of exile crashout). A smart person would note not just the absence of a particular kind of culture, but the complete absence of ANY culture and understand him to be a bug, particularly in the context of one of his other chimpouts, viz. the H1B christmas crashout. Low info boomer you can leave now.
