Not so much an evil person, but moreso a fool that fell for conservative and techbro propaganda, John Carmack is insanely smart and intelligent bookwise, but i think his social skills are zilch.
Sandy Petersen is another one i really used to enjoy but the amount of times he’s scammed people out of crowdfunded boardgames has turned me off from anything that has to do with him.
Thankfully John Romero is a great person (afaik) who overcame his ego, probably after Daikatana failed to sell.
He didn’t even make me his bitch. Disappointing.
My childhood heroes were Optimus Prime, dinosaurs, and a big bin full of LEGO.
And look what happened to dinosaurs
They became all-you-can-eat wings on Thursdays for just $9.99?
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros. I had a period where I appreciated people who played the system to get rich. Before I understood the system itself is the problem.
What I find most interesting is that Warren Buffet has come right out said it’s weird that society will reward people into being billionaires and has publicly stated that there’s is for sure a class war going on and billionaires are winning.
I think it’s nice he’s giving most of his fortune away but disappointing he hasn’t called for the system that made his fortune to be dismantled.
because he benefited from that system that gave billionaires that advantage, of courses hes not go to bite the hand that feeds him.
Of all the wealthy people I’ve ever read about, Buffet seems to actually care about money the least. Like’s he’s in love with the process in the way that an autistic person loves their hyper focus but if he lost everything, it wouldn’t faze him.
