You gotta remember there’s rich, and then there’s “bunker in Hawaii” rich, which is a growing population of the ultra-rich leeches. The likes of Zuckbot aren’t going to have to rely on private security.
But what’s their long-term plan, really? They don’t realize how utterly dependent they are on other people, and when shit hits the fan, other people aren’t going to feel so motivated to defend them. There’s a great video of Douglas Rushkoff talking about a billionaires convention he attended. They really think they’re going to chill in their bunkers and eat gourmet food indefinitely.

The stories out of Rushkoff’s work about how the rich sought advice about ensuring the loyalty of their bunker and being told that they need to have their staff actually like them as people. The rich did not want to hear that and kept asking for solutions like shocking them and starving them. Those bunkers will be like Lord of the Flies when shit hits the fan.
Rushkoff: You could try being nice to them.
Billionaires: But where does that end? How many people do I have to be nice to?
Rushkoff: Well, ideally you’d be nice to everyone.
This is exactly what I’m hoping for. I just hope I live long enough staving off dehydration and heat stroke to see one verified report of it.
