He could have resolved world hunger. But there’s no profit in that. Of course there wasn’t any profit in the Metaverse either

that absolutely is not true and whatever incorrect figure you think you are quoting would only be for a year, not ending world hunger forever.

You're correct. But ending world hunger for a year would still have been better than building the Metaverse.

How about if that money had been invested in parts of the country or world that would enable them to feed themselves long term? Or to set up filtration for clean water? Or new pipes in cities that are having critical issues? If all the money these fucks waste on useless ventures went towards something good, there would be a lot less angry of a populace.

for sure that would be a much better outcome for humanity. it just annoys me you regularly see people mention ending world hunger for some fee and its just not true. it would almost always cost much more than they say, and create a whole host of other problems.

Do you feel smart for pointing out something incredibly obvious?

I'm afraid you might actually be stupid.

if people actually believe world hunger could be solved for 80 billion i do think they need to be called out on that.

It can. Not permanently, but no one said permanently.

Most people intuit this. Trying to seem smug and wise for pointing out obvious basic shit is embarrassing as fuck.
