I don't believe there are 2 septillion dollars in the world.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-12-26 15:11:44

Inflation got ridiculous after the revolution in 2025

Tanya · 2014-12-26 15:52:30

Neopets joke?

sunn wolf · 2014-12-26 17:32:54

give it another 5-10 years and someone will be buying an unconverted garage in kensington for 2 septillion dollars

probably the worst thing about london is the fact that property in the centre of town has essentially become a way for oligarchs to store their money. there are whole streets of rotting derelict mansions where nobody lives because it's just bought up by Saudi royalty as an investment

meanwhile there are thousands of homeless people on the streets

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-12-26 18:06:37

capitalism~

sunn: I understand that's the case in a lot of big American cities as well. It's especially bad in the San Francisco area, since rents have been inflated there for years. The "dark enlightenment" crap currently making the rounds of the Silicon Valley nouveau riche isn't helping. :P

Anonus · 2014-12-27 03:17:28

I looked at the RationalWiki article on Neoreactionalism

is that stuff really making the rounds of the nouveau riche?

lee4hmz · 2014-12-27 04:26:16

Well, I understand the bits about transhumanism are extremely popular; the rest I'm not so sure about.

Calica · 2014-12-27 04:28:41

that's a lot of zeroes

lesswrong is like one of those christian cults that believes that the apocalypste is coming any day now(tm) so better prepare this is more important than your silly secular politix

neoreaction is modern fundamentalists where you better vote republican and try to make the repubs even more terrible

lee4hmz · 2014-12-27 04:31:45

And there's a good amount of crossover between those two, which is scary on its own.

Calica · 2014-12-27 04:32:38

well neoreaction budded off of lw the same way that terrible right wing christian fuckers budded off billy graham or whoever tf

lee4hmz · 2014-12-27 04:34:11

yeah...and it was less Billy Graham than Jim Bakker and Jerry Falwell (and a few other less-known people like Rushdoony)

Calica · 2014-12-27 04:49:13

i mean billy graham as the "uninterested in politicS" even though eh isn't (and big yud probably isn't quite either but close enough)

lee4hmz · 2014-12-27 06:12:33

Oh, I see.
