by appealing to the rich and exalting their inventions, we “perpetuate the myth that only a technocratic elite can possibly fix our problems,”

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Could it be because they are deliberately helping to create the chaos?

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.

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.

“if they hired armed guards to protect these compounds, how could they ensure their loyalty?”

Have the guards bring their family during the bug-out.

Book of Mathew (Chapter 6) The words of Jesus from The Sermon on the Mount...(King James Version)

Verse 19: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Verse 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Verse 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Cause they can. Really when you have billions of dollars dropping 100 million on something you’ll probably never use but might is nothing. If you could spend $1 to have a place to go if things went very sideways would you? Equivalently that’s what they’re doing. These guys throw 10, 50, 100 million dollars into all kinds of little side things that might do nothing, or might not. It’s all just quarters in the wishing well for them.

Yeahhhh...I’m sensing these billionaires ain’t gonna make it in that world very long.

False Dilemma Fallacy!

The cadre of stormtroopers protecting my hidden mountain fortress

  1. have been outfitted obedience collars, and
  2. have been genetically manipulated so as to be unable to produce lysine.
