Was ich bei Jeff Bezos‘ Private Retreat über Milliardäre gelernt habe

Btw this is written by Noah Hawley, the creator of the Fargo show, Legion, Alien Earth, etc.

Also

>The lead singer of an alt-country band didn’t run the world, nor did a noted author who would later be accused of impropriety. 

That’s Neil Gaiman right?

During the weekend, Noah’s wife broke her wrist after slipping on wet grass, while Noah and his children contracted Hand, Foot and Mouth disease.

>*How was your Campfire?* Bezos asked me an hour later, and because I am an honest person, and because I have been a host myself, I decided he would want to know that there had been a problem, but that his team had reacted quickly and been extremely helpful. To be clear, I was in no way blaming him, nor was I shaking down the richest man on Earth. Instead, I was simply offering Bezos, also a husband and father, a brief human connection.

>But when I told him what had happened, Bezos looked horrified. He did not say “I’m so sorry.” He did not say “Do you need anything?” Instead, he made a face, and in an instant, an aide came and whisked him away. When presented with the opportunity for empathy, even performative empathy, he chose escape.

What a tool.

*Billionaire Wilderness* by Justin Farrell should be mandatory reading.

Warning: it will **enrage** you.

This was a really good, yet sad to read.

contracting hand foot and mouth at a convention with billionaires 🤮 but at the same time hilarious

Very lucidly and clearly articulated. A quite good, if sobering, read.

Scientists also discovered that Water is wet.

Really good article and a refreshing, interesting perspective.
Thank you

Every single billionaire party I have ever been to was structured into some form of a fucking conference with speakers and round tables and screenings and stupid shit no one wants to do when they show up somewhere with a bathing suit and a four pack of high noons thinking it’s going to be an actual party. I do not understand why this is the format these events always take.

I just watched a video where a woman who developed colorblindness from Lyme disease (and was an artist) forgot what colors she lost looked like after around 7 years. I can only wonder what Billionaires lose in that same amount of time. Jeff Bezos has been a billionaire since 1998, he was 34.
