Constantly being tricked by #Billionaires and their sophisticated powerful media systems.

TLDR - Isolating oneself from the pain of others diminishes one's empathy, and wealth makes it easy to do that.

"What I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos’s Private Retreat"

The article focuses on Billionaires, but this is true at any income / wealth level where a person can isolate themselves from the pain or suffering of others.

A decisive part of our #socialmedia is created after the tastes of literally a few people.
Them #billionaires have communicative power over quasi all of #humankind alive, but communication goes two ways.

Asking a responsible question of how to use our power then is to remind them how truly powerful they really are.

We could make them safe the world.

A good, short take on the manifesto published Saturday by #Palantir.
A critic reminds us at the end, the motives of this #EpsteinClass, these #billionaires: "Palantir sells operational #software to #defense, intelligence, #immigration & police agencies. [This manifesto is] the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it’s advocating."
So for all the posturing that they're bound by good motives, the profit puzzle piece keeps turning up.

Palantir posts mini-manifesto denouncing inclusivity and ‘regressive’ cultures | TechCrunch

Palantir's ideological bent has come under more scrutiny as it's worked with ICE and positioned itself as a defender of "the West."

From the same article:

- although today’s billionaires are clearly manipulating society to maximize their own profit, something else is also happening:

a disassociation from the reality of cause and effect, from meaning and history.

These men no longer feel the need to change the world in order to succeed, because their success is guaranteed, no matter what happens to the rest of us.
