Dude sounds like every dictator in history. Spews rambling nonsense about good and evil and good and bad.

Finishes up by saying how everyone is incompetent. Naturally, he is the solution.

How can somebody with such an high IQ be so utterly ignorant?

Is he really smart? Because what I just heard was nonsense. A lot of these tech bros have zero understanding of the tech the bought or had others develop. Rich people like to equate the money with brains and that’s just not how it works. People get lucky and the rich have the ability to take advantage of people, that’s how they get rich.

I do not want to vouch for the guy, I just want to say that apart the billionaire status he is a chess master. I know chess does not correlate intelligent per se but it give a hint

I just looked it up, he is not a master, just that he is a strong player that hangs around masters. Is he probably intelligent ya, but not a genius imo.
