Let’s say that you have an opportunity to gain billions to fix the society from the top. Do you think that you would keep your integrity and use your money for the greater good, or that you would be corrupted by your power?
If so, would you still accept the offer knowing that you would just make the situation worse?
And if you believe in yourself, how would you try to convince an hypotetical entity to give you this wealth?
To avoid regrets let’s say that if you decline the offer your memory about the deal gets erased.
I would take it but it would be quite a job to manage that. If literally infinite, and not an amount, it would break the idea of money, right?
I’m not sure society can be fixed from the top but would be interested to see what happens if grants are directed in ways that grow the bottom part of the economy, could it be made vibrant, can the value be circulated around not exploited? Can the land be restored? The oceans? How do you audit to prevent fraud, to keep it from making things worse?
I would be very happy to not have to worry about my personal budget but to have the responsibility to try to fix the world with money seems like an impossible task. Money could fix my personal situation, but can it fix everything? Probably not.
I do think I would try though, yeah.
Buy all the debt. Then fuck off into the sunset. Humanity is better off for it.
A Jubilee year should happen regardless. Yeah.
I think this is sort of a pandora’s box too. Buying the debt off means paying the banks, LOTS. So you’d not only inflate all currency to oblivion, but make banks the richest entities by far. That’s dangerous.
Hmmm…so then keep your money secret, fund a space program that pays more than SpaceX, NASA and Blue origin or what ever.
The. Use that wealth to build a colony ship. Fuck off to a new planet?
