@tchambers @web3isgreat And of course the JPEG of Jack's first tweet, which is all that the NFT references, was and remains completely free.

Quite how allegedly intelligent (or at least evidently wealthy) people could get conned into paying for that sort of nonsense remains one of the great mysteries of the past few years.

@losttourist @tchambers @web3isgreat it's really not a mystery.

You link financial success with intelligence. You've lived your entire life in a world where you are bombarded every day with factual proof that this is nonsense - that, if anything, the opposite is true. But you're bombarded even LOUDER by propaganda spread by those with financial success saying that they're smarter, harder working, more worthy than you.

It's not true and never has been.

@amoshiashwili @losttourist @tchambers @web3isgreat Exactly this, they were never intelligent to begin with, usually their money comes from some family member who got lucky and scammed it off of someone else. It's also worth noting that they often believe their own propaganda, and wind up convinced that they're geniuses, because they actually believe the myth of the self made man.
