… he meets a small group of billionaires with heavy investments in the tech sector…proceed to ask him which remote location would be the best place to build their doomsday shelters: New Zealand or Alaska? And if they hired armed guards to protect these compounds, how could they ensure their loyalty? (Would you, for example, withhold food from them, or make them wear disciplinary collars?) … could they insulate themselves from the people who would inevitably seek out their refuge?
…The Mindset, broadly defined, is the tendency to see human interests as subservient to those of technological progress… “technopoly”: the “submission of all forms of cultural life to the sovereignty of technique and technology.”….
Thus, we see why Elon Musk is obsessed with laying the groundwork for his extraplanetary colony; why Jeff Bezos wants to move heavy industry into orbit to keep the supply lines running if the planet is destroyed; why Mark Zuckerberg is trying to dial himself into metaverse; or why Ray Kurzweil wants to upload his consciousness to a cloud. All of them are adherents of the Mindset; … that they can shield themselves from disaster and then remake the world to their liking. The future of technological progress, Rushkoff argues, is now an experimental endgame in which the wealthiest and most powerful race to find the escape hatch; it is less about raising up humanity than rising above the rest of us.
… by appealing to the rich and exalting their inventions, we “perpetuate the myth that only a technocratic elite can possibly fix our problems,”… It also encourages a gamified vision of life: regarding the world as a kind of system that can be hacked or rebooted if we just grant those with the power to do so unlimited resources to carry out their plans.

This sounds very similar to Trust the Science.
Because, to stay the billionaires and work to ensure nobody else becomes a billionaire, they are creating the conditions and they know it.
If you’re a normal person a fad might mean painting your nails black. (Something I’ve recently seen in normal looking, white men.) But if you’re a tech millionaire it’s a bomb shelter.
It was prophesied 2000 years ago in Revelations................
Once one has selected where to build your doomsday compound, refrain from driving into stock tanks & ponds.
These people are committed technocrats and transhumanists, who despite wealth greater than any previous generation can’t solve the issue of father time.
It happens to everyone at some point in your life you realize you are mortal and father time always wins, these billionaires are basically weak people who have changed the world technically but can’t solve the one issue that everyone suffers from, you will die someday and there is nothing you can do about it.
They seek solutions creating doomsday bunkers, uploading their conscientiousness to the cloud, implanting computer chips in their brains all in pursuit of immortality, all of which will fail and it’s freaking them out.
I’m sure Steve Jobs had similar ideas.
Trust me on this, You cant run from an earthquake. You'll be buried in your own underground tomb.
these kinds of apocalyptic speculations are hilarious: most of these billionaires couldn’t change a light bulb or boil a pot of water, and except for (maybe) close family, the so-called “loyalty” of any servants or minions wouldn’t last very long, esp. any armed “guards” ... also, they can have all the walled compounds they want, but sooner or later they’ll run out of some essential part, component, material or substance necessary to keep their cushy lifestyle intact ... survivors outside said compounds will devolve into warring tribes and a few surviving tribes will grow strong enough and desperate enough to invade said compounds ...
“implanting computer chips in their brains all in pursuit of immortality”
In the old days I thought that might be a good idea.
Then I finally got a clue:

[Why Billionaires Are Obsessed With the Apocalypse]
The World Economic Foundation and the other Globalists are working very diligently to bring on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They will be rewarded.
Their Gold and their Silver will not save them in that Day. And they know it; they can feel it coming.
(...AND THE RICH MEN...)
Revelation 6:15-17
King James Version
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+6%3A15-17&version=KJV
Ezekiel 7:19
King James Version
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+7%3A19&version=KJV
French-style revolution should scare them. At some point I don’t even care if your intentions were good. Did you pretend to know how to fix the world and use your wealth and power in a capricious manner? If so, know that you have affected millions and pray they don’t wake up. The rule should be- The more money you have, the less you should say or do. Plebes own one thing- their lives. Screw with that at your own peril.
Amen.
Could it be because they are deliberately helping to create the chaos?
Revelation 6:16 NIV
They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
Because they are planning it to reduce the population so we’re easier to control.
Problem is, they reckon without God. It’s not going to go as they expect.
They won’t be able to hide.
Flaunting wealth is dangerous and stupid.
If you must do it you better have a lot of bodyguards—and a lot of trust in them.
I finally got a clue a couple of years ago when it dawned on me that Father Time is undefeated and always wins.
At some age everyone realizes they are not immortal and go 1 of 2 ways, I chose to try to be healthier, more physical activity, eating better, drinking less, remove as much stress as possible, etc., I may not live any longer, but I will feel better until that time comes.
The rain falls upon the begger and king alike. Death comes to all men in time. These rich are so afraid of dying, their lust for the physical life so strong they will deny what comes naturally to every living being and beg other men, “I want to live forever. “ when they should be turning to God with the same plea.
