Why are most billionaires so crass and unimaginative? Where are the Howard Hugues and other industrialist pushing mankind forward? Elon is the only one that seems to try.

For the hundreds of billions they throw around they could create an endowment and a 20 year long plan to build a mega structure research station in space or build new colleges that research their interest with a fully tuition free student body, but they don't.

What happened to the drive to find the world brick and to turn it to marble?

Got high on their own supply

>>546131937
the side story with the two legionaires was the only watchable part of that show the gangster arc was fucking hilarious. All the dysfunctional family/sex shit was boring though not worth the watch all in all
>>
>>546132108
I Claudius does the family intercene violence better
>>
The days of the visionary industrialist are long past
Now they're all nothing but scheming bullshitters with god complexes and a socially acceptable form of hoarding disorder
>>
>>546132153
agreed. That show has its problems as well but worth the watch for the schizo hallucination of the former emperors at the end. Also its much more historically accurate but of course takes plenty of liberties
>>
>>546131937
they decided too many goyim and went the opposite route, that of global annihilation
>>
>>546132162
This desu, when you refactor your society around bullshitting and scamming guess what that selects for in your "elite"
>>
>>546132198
If you take it as a stage play it is 100% better and Robert Graves based his story on real historical accounts, but picking and choosing the most dramatic rumors recorded and then building characters around them to make it feel like Claudius was letting you in on a secret
>>
>>546131937
They know Apophis is going to destroy humanity anyway so why bother?
>>
>>546131937
Most of them are billionaires because they worship money, not because it's a natural consequence of their own creativity or industriousness. In the past, you would become rich by being useful to society, inventing products or technologies that people wanted to buy. Now, it's just market manipulation and the accumulation of wealth for its own sake.
>>
>>546132299
Its just such a weird trend, for about 10k years any man able to amass wealth or leadership made crazy shit like canals, damns, or giant temples to the gods. After the Hughes crowd died and the techbro soibois took over... everything is lame and gay. 10 thousand years of human tradition gone in a generation of faggots. Its not even communism, Russia built shit
>>
>>546132308
>If you take it as a stage play
in that case then yes it is a masterpiece, but then again I was never a theatre kid. the stuff I refer to as embellishments are agrippa postumus and claudius being best buds, augustus forgiving postumus, the nature of the death of druscilla, nero and agrippina incest, etc. Funnily enough I think the herod agrippa friendship plot was probably fairly accurate
>>
>>546132466
I think there is some timeline fuckery over Germanicus too right?
>>
>>546132397
They probably see our society as doomed, and build all the cool things underground now. Entertainment and support systems for the next few generations that will have to live out their lives in a vast series of connected bunkers
>>
>>546132397
Mostly because they made their money scheming to get access to the money printer rather than being truly great innovators or even administrators.
>>
>>546131937
their "imagination" is only carried by how far their money goes. once you've done everything, bought everything, etc, what they do at the end of that shows what imagination they had. the answer is none.
their money gave them "imagination".
>>
>>546131937
The only reason they're rich is because the jews let them be rich. Imagine how rich Tesla could have been. They don't help because they're not instructed to help. That's not the world orders goal.
>>
>>546131937
Because now most of them are kikes.

Imagine actually believing this.
>>
>>546131937

to be a billionaire means you backstabbed countless people, they are sociopaths

the only solution for them is the guillotine by the hands of all the countless lives theyve exploited

my bad for expecting a mutt to know some history

>>546134465
I don't know much about rockets, but I know that rockets being able to land and then to fly again is a big deal

He's an actor for the military industrial complex. Anything he builds is just what the system wants built. He's not pushing shit forward because of own will to power.
>>
>>546132310
if that were true why not just hit it with a missile (with no payload) to nudge it in a new direction
>>546134687
you could be right, but we can only guess about the powers that be. if theyre making him the frontman on purpose it seems like a bad choice he is very autistic
>>
>>546134687
My man. Too many people do not get this
>>
>>546131937
Elon gave up ten years ago. Where’s Mars nigga? All he dies is post on X and give money to maga retards.
>>
>>546134805
They spent decades with propaganda to make autism synonymous with being a math and science prodigy. So naturally the person they push as the world's pre-eminent super genius engineer would have an image following that propaganda
>>
>>546132310
GOULD?

He is at least pretending for someone

presenting a character as a genius and having him act retarded does kind of fit recent storytelling dynamics desu you may be right, but on the other hand he could genuinely be an autistic rocket scientist with too many baby mamas

You already know the answer: Financialization is the current standard for development. We all know you can't build roads or new physical systems out of legal paper backlogs, quarterly reports, and shell companies. To a modern billionaire, he isn't concerned with making a physical product or a service to benefit society even if it fundamentally supports him and his selfish ambitions in the long run. Why else do you think that nothing gets made in america anymore? Manufacturing has been sold to china. America lost it's ability to make physical things because people like elon musk or sam altman think that it's too boring and expensive. So they'll throw billions of dollars, Ivy League midwits, and jeets at these vanity projects that only exist to drive up stock market value for dumbfuck investors who think that whatever is new and trendy will automatically be profitable. People like this literally think of physical production as an unprofitable, expensive, low margin, high risk operation. They'd seriously try to make bridges, dams, and roads out of glass and use raspberry pi SBCs to control traffic lights if they thought it'd be cheaper and "smarter" to build new infrastructure this way

>>546131937
They're nerds. In the past they were aristocratic or men of action.

i have the sudden desire to watch that show again

I do think it is that, an intangible asset is worth more than a tangible one, because the tangible depreciates and needs upkeep and once its built, its value can be measured instead of having a hypothetical value that may be more
>>
>>546134924

Someone who makes it worth his while

I want a single billionaire to fund AI powered genetic research on IQ and Race thats practically forbidden in every college and institution. I know you fat fuck Elon are here. So hire the next Watson and give him funds.
>>
>>546131937
the jews took over money
99% of billionaires are jewish and all they care about is destroying white people and the world to bring about their messiah because they're circumcised schizophrenic freaks
