crisis follow rules

2018-05-18 14:43:11 UTC  

just as everything else

2018-05-18 14:43:30 UTC  

you just need to be far enough away from it to observe, notice and use to your advantage

2018-05-18 14:43:55 UTC  

grab seven friends and play twilight imperium every weekend for the next half year. you'll figure it out

2018-05-18 14:44:56 UTC  

nah crisis is bad news for the rich... volatility it fine... but crisis could lose you billions

2018-05-18 14:45:21 UTC  

a recession in one country these days is pretty much a recession in every country

2018-05-18 14:45:35 UTC  

If I were an amoral billionaire who wanted to expand my power in the US I'd try my damnedest to collapse nations in South America while simultaneously organizing migrant caravans north and pro-immigration protests in the US.

A smart billionaure wants order to mantain it. A genius creates chaos and profits from it.

2018-05-18 14:48:35 UTC  

for what reason?

2018-05-18 14:49:05 UTC  

@wacka you just don't know how to set things up properly before flipping over the dominos

2018-05-18 14:50:05 UTC  

you only make money for a crisis if you have stable place to offer to "help" rebuild after the crisis.

2018-05-18 14:50:05 UTC  

@Grenade123 the simplest one? just the game

2018-05-18 14:50:12 UTC  

like american post WW2

2018-05-18 14:50:38 UTC  

just the game? just because? that is your reason?

2018-05-18 14:50:49 UTC  

@Grenade123 You assume too much good natured hearts. After a certain amount of money, making more or gaining more influence, is just a game to some people. nothing more

2018-05-18 14:50:53 UTC  

yes

2018-05-18 14:51:04 UTC  

good nature?

2018-05-18 14:51:40 UTC  

how is internationally destabilizing a country so you can "offer to help" rebuild it to make more money and gain influence "good nature"

2018-05-18 14:51:45 UTC  

for some people that is enough. unless you figure out an ulterior motive, even that of a bond villain, it is, in all cases "the game", it is being played anyway, deeper reasons or not, if you want it or not

2018-05-18 14:51:59 UTC  

you were mentioning the sensible rich people

2018-05-18 14:52:04 UTC  

Like Warren Buffett lobbying Obama to block oil pipelines. He owns all the oil tanker rolling stock.

2018-05-18 14:52:20 UTC  

bill gates has supported social justice nonsense. i believe he is good natured. i also belief he is a crook and a twat and an idiot

2018-05-18 14:52:47 UTC  

It's vastly more expensive and more dangerous to move oil by rail, and Warren Buffett doesn't need the money, but he is exercising power by blocking pipelines.

2018-05-18 14:53:00 UTC  

"you only make money for a crisis if you have stable place to offer to "help" rebuild after the crisis." this was your "good" reasoning. it is not necessary to simply play the game for the game's sake

2018-05-18 14:53:36 UTC  

and if you're a psychopath, why would you care for the fates of people? they're just statistics. or you're a sadist, and may enjoy the suffering

2018-05-18 14:53:55 UTC  

that is no a "good" reason. outside good from a PR sense as it is an easy sell to make hand of fist money and gain easy influence

2018-05-18 14:53:57 UTC  

staying on the topic of soros, as he was brought up; does anything know whether he is psychologically deviant?

2018-05-18 14:54:06 UTC  

Or worse, you could believe you are helping them by killing them.

2018-05-18 14:54:09 UTC  

because you could infer some things from that

2018-05-18 14:54:17 UTC  

Stalin honestly believed what he was doing was best.

2018-05-18 14:54:26 UTC  

so did hitler

2018-05-18 14:54:36 UTC  

they thought of it as necessary evils

2018-05-18 14:54:38 UTC  

i feel like we are in "jews are evil because they are jews" argument.

2018-05-18 14:54:49 UTC  

that's just you thinking that

2018-05-18 14:54:57 UTC  

no, that is you too

2018-05-18 14:55:05 UTC  

you just admitted he reasons are "just because"

2018-05-18 14:55:07 UTC  

no, we're talking on a meta level here

2018-05-18 14:55:08 UTC  

I think what we're trying to say is that even extremely powerful and intelligent people can act pathologically.

2018-05-18 14:55:15 UTC  

you're invited to climb the ladder, come out of the box

2018-05-18 14:55:31 UTC  

and you're thinking in groups again, you assume we're talking about groups, while we're actually talking about systems

2018-05-18 14:55:44 UTC  

Soros himself has said that he has a "Savior Complex"
