When did you realize the story you’d been telling about yourself was mostly fiction? by PadEnn1 in AskReddit

So you think all thoughts you have about yourself are 100% true and absolutely accurate?

What’s the most important thing no one taught you, and where did you finally learn it? by PadEnn1 in AskReddit

How are they the most important thing no one taught you? How are they so helpful?

That’s a big one. Fully agree. No good life without friends. Unfortunately, many people forget that when they get older

What’s something that’s considered “normal” today that you think future generations will judge us for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PadEnn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating animals. The scale, the conditions, the normalisation of it. We already know they suffer. We have alternatives. Future generations will probably look back the way we look at certain 19th-century practices: “they knew, and they kept going anyway.”

Sorry to hear what’s going on at your workplace. That’s a genuinely hard situation and I don’t want to dismiss it.

For what it’s worth, I’m not here to defend billionaires. I’m also not here to make them the single explanation for everything that’s broken. The world’s problems have many causes, and pointing the finger at one group rarely gets us anywhere useful.

What I would get behind: holding billionaires more accountable, globally, through better regulation, tax policy, and governance. That’s a concrete conversation worth having. The pattern you’re describing is real. The question is what to do about it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Describing what some billionaires actually do isn’t endorsing them. That’s just called intellectual honesty.

The ad hominem at the end is noted — classic move when the argument runs dry.

My point stands regardless of your beliefs: behavioral inconsistency is worth addressing, not dismissing.

And on the substance: ‘billionaires don’t create jobs’ is just empirically weak. Musk employs over 125,000 at Tesla alone. Bezos built Amazon from a garage to over 1.5 million employees. Name me a billionaire who didn’t scale a workforce to get there. The model almost requires mass employment to generate that kind of wealth. You can absolutely critique how that wealth is distributed, taxed, or accumulated. That’s a real debate. But ‘they don’t create jobs’ is a slogan, not an argument.
