@michelestrider i have a feeling, albeit empirical, that it is things going to hell that bring billionaires, like culture-eating moths to the fires of societal failure.

@adamrice @michelestrider perhaps, but the takeaway stays.

@adamgreenfield hope my reply does not sound patronising, it was not written with that idea, i’m just trying to help and i see the value and appreciate the effort

@adamgreenfield considering there are 30k deaths by car accidents in the u.s. and we still get into our cars like nothing, if i were you i wouldn’t be so hard on myself and prob try to understand that people are terribly crappy at understanding the dangers they’re into, and iur beain is stupidly prone to minimise any feeling of risk, so prob that is why people have missed the importance and relevance of your book, thinking “well, i’m not on that perilous path” you know, like you see in the news.
