It’s that or the guillotine. My plan, which is mine, is to get all the billionaires into a theater and offer them two choices: 1. You keep 30% of your wealth, the govt takes 70% and you live happily ever after. 2. You keep 0% of your wealth and the govt takes it all & their head.

Old me felt like a ton of the stuff said about Nero and Caligula had to be lies told by Senatorial rivals jealous they were frozen out of power but seeing what such power and wealth can do to someone I’m thinking maybe they underplayed it.

Nero rigging the Olympics so he could bask in the adoration of the crowd kind of feels like the ancient version of buying Twitter so Musk could skew the algorithm and make himself feel loved.

I learned the Amphitheater in Rome is now better known as Coloseseum because Nero had a massive/collosal statue of himself next to it. When people asked about they were told it's "next to the giant (kolossos/colossus). The name stuck after the statue was demolished. Peak Nero.

stable, rational societies used to put you out on an ice floe for this kind of thing

Over the weekend, for example, Musk reposted an animation made by one of his reply guys of an evidently topless woman whose face, neck, and shoulders are bejeweled by blinking stars and swirling galaxies. He shared an animation from another paid blue-check X user who explained he had prompted Grok to show him a “stunning Colombian woman” with a “golden tan” and “flawless smooth complexion” in a revealing tribal-style leather getup, standing next to a large robotic dinosaur. He also marveled at a sort of music video for Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” made with Grok, which featured a series of shots of a dark-haired, anime-like character in different skintight spacesuits (and one bathing suit). “Wow,” Musk wrote. “And this is just Grok Imagine beta v0.1! Not even Imagine version 1.”
