Power is like a black hole. This isn't about wealth, it's about power. It's only concern is growing itself.
This is what I learned from the Lord of the Rings.

Becoming a billionaire is never about skill, or 'spending time effectively'. Fast growth is also not a feat of a billionaire.
I think you are grasping for a superhero that doesn't exist.
My school teacher taught me I should be surprised at things like this.
Luckily, I am no longer 12.
Hmm hmm. I'd recommend reading this: https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too
It argues for why capital punishment is not necessarily a good route to go.
Yes, slavery. It's been around for ages.
In 1962 there were no "lethal autonomous weapons".
Only if other people can't hear you or you'll be a disturber of the peace.
The issue is the extreme power imbalance. My 'cloud' will be a small space, surrounded by capitalism on all fronts. Like an oil field that's not drilled, but all fields around it are drilled. It's emptied anyway.
You cannot be 'apart' from capitalism as even if you are, or try to be, outside - your position is still going to be defined as an outsider to capitalism and all the hardships that entails.
And if you get a 'cloud' big or powerful enough - let's look at history, what would happen?
Genocide. That's what happens. Every time.
I believe in personal relationships. Trying to be in good relationships makes this mess endurable and, I believe, safest.
Yes. My guess is that, soon enough, just wearing a police uniform will be enough to end up on kill lists.
Kind of like Colombia during narco wars, except it's going to be everywhere, no matter what kind of cop.
Cops will need to watch their backs even more when people have less and less to lose, and believe less and less in the 'rule of law' that constantly fucks them over.
YES YES YES. Some linguistic part of my mind just had an orgasm.
Yes, this cost-saving doesn't directly benefit any billionaire.
Yeah. And they're not even killing off the Germans! This doesn't make any sense!
