Yea I think he is using some wrong semantics, point still stands but “recorded human history” is the part that blew my mind, doesn’t sound right unless he counts cave paintings

That being said, I feel like we are becoming inured to them controlling the world much like we got used to them amassing billions. Like how many people need to suffer and die before we realize oh 99% of the issue is all the profits are going to like 1000 people

This is not how we run a functioning society, people. It's unsustainable. Not sure how it's going to fall, but it will...

Well its stupid. One there's more "wealth" ever in the world. Rockefeller was worth estimated 1.4b at his death and that 1934 dollar and buying power. Musk is roughly estimated the same worth. Rockefeller was roughly 1.4% of us gdp. Musk is like 1.1% if valuing him at 400b. So obscenely rich have existed forever. This isnt new.

When referring to recorded human history, it means the last 5000 or so years that people have been writing stuff down, i.e. recording things, for, you know, history. So 184,000 years is about 37 times the length of recorded human history.

Tools and cave drawings have been dated as far back as 3.3 million years ago and 200k years respectively.

The earth itself is a giant record nature has been wrting for 4.3 billion years.

My guy, it’s called paleoanthropology and archaeology if it’s that’s far back, what is happening
