  • except you can still arguably see things that don’t reflect light, if you were anywhere near a black hole (let’s imagine it has no accretion disk and thus isn’t surrounded by a bunch of light) it’d be pretty obvious what with the bending of light and how it’s a disk of pure blackness against the backdrop of stars.


  • i’m pretty convinced that there rich fuckheads just have some fundamental psychological unwellness, either inherent or brought upon them by their childhood.

    Take elon musk as the extreme example: clearly just not capable of being truly happy, he’s constantly seeking validation and no amount is ever actually enough to make him feel confident, richest person in the world buys twitter to remove the ability to express dislike towards him.

    And as a counterexample of what a mentally healthy rich person does: there’s a guy from my region who seems to have genuinely made his own wealth and he basically just lives like any other middle aged dude, normal house in a normal town and he goes to the grocery store every now and then, because that’s a pretty fucking sweet life when you don’t have to worry about money. Just sit on the porch eating cinnamon buns for the rest of your life, and spend some of that wealth and use your connections to get a frozen meal company to add pancakes to their product line.

    Now to be clear he’s not some shining beacon of morality, he’s just normal, and it’s wild how much of a contrast that makes to your average billionaire psychopath.
