⚡️🚨 NEW - Tech billionaires seem to be 'doom' prepping — BBC ➤ Mark Zuckerberg (Meta/Facebook founder) • Building a 1,400-acre compound on Kauai, Hawaii, known as Koolau Ranch. • Includes a large underground shelter (about 5,000 sq. ft.) with independent energy and food supplies. • Has also purchased 11 properties in Palo Alto, reportedly adding a 7,000 sq. ft. underground space beneath. • Officially denies creating a “doomsday bunker,” calling it “just a basement,” though speculation persists. ➤ Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn co-founder) • Has openly spoken about “apocalypse insurance.” • Claims about half of the wealthy have some form of such contingency, with New Zealand being a popular safe haven. ➤ Ilya Sutskever (OpenAI co-founder, former Chief Scientist) • Reportedly suggested building a bunker for top AI scientists before releasing artificial general intelligence (AGI). • Famously said: “We’re definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI.” ➤ Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) & Peter Thiel (PayPal co-founder) • Both have been linked to survival properties in remote locations like New Zealand. • Altman once speculated about joining Thiel in such a retreat if global disaster struck. image

Those that enable and profit from the two forms of apocalyptic projection; nuclear Holocaust and pollution/ecological collapse will ensure they survive. Whilst the majority of the public are held to ransom to protect the established cartel custom and power dynamic. Today's customs and terms of relationship ensure protection of cartels that see poorer people as collateral damage in their persuit of accumilation. This will be very similar to the Titanic, where people on the payroll/staff lock the gate to poorer folk desperate to get out of the sinking ship to survive. It is quite common today. Transcending such practice and finding a different way communally or as community scaled up, will allow for very old observations and recognised needs to be realised meaningfully. Though sustaining a community consensus is hard. Human relationships are tricky. That's why rituals and customary language becomes important. Communal experiences and common reflection points unify. Personifications allow for greater human connection to concepts. At the moment there is a lot of cheering on the tax haven class, people backing their favourite billionaires. Critical of the way it works but then paradoxically arguing for the continuation of such accumulation game that gives a person power to censor the exchange of ideas and stories to maintain the status quo. The reason why we can't afford to give up on finding balance environmentally and relative peace amongst people's is survival at its core.
