| That there aren't any solutions. | |
| There are only trade-offs. | |
| Well, if you want to spend more on this, you have to spend less on this. | |
| So the fantasy of infinite money makes people psychotic. | |
| It gives people mental illness. | |
| I genuinely believe that. | |
| It makes people addicted to unreality. | |
| And it makes them very fucking aggressive. | |
| Very aggressive. | |
| Because if you say, well, I want to spend $100 billion or $100 million on this, well, we're going to cut. | |
| People just get offended. | |
| They get mad. | |
| No, I want to do good things with my narcissistic, psychotic, pathological altruism fantasy checklist. | |
| Why won't you let me check things? | |
| I want to feel good. | |
| It's a drug. | |
| It's a drug of unreality. | |
| There's no trade-offs. | |
| I mean, you want to see this live? | |
| You want to see this? | |
| It's pretty easy. | |
| It's pretty easy. | |
| Pretty terrifying. | |
| Pretty easy. | |
| What you do is you go to your average boomer and say, Okay, what are we going to cut to pay for the national debt? | |
| Or just raise taxes! | |
| No, no, no, that's not a thing. | |
| That's not a thing. | |
| Taxes are already insanely high in the West. | |
| So, what can we cut? | |
| You know, here's a list of government expenditures. | |
| Well, we can't cut Medicaid. | |
| Well, we can't cut Medicaid. | |
| Well, we can't cut Social Security. | |
| We can't cut this. | |
| We can't cut that. | |
| We can't cut wealth. | |
| What are you going to cut? | |
| Make some tough choices, you absolutely fart-brained spineless toadies. | |
| Just make some tough choices. | |
| The boomers never really had to make tough choices because they were sucked into the mind-evacuating psychosis of infinite resources and the narcissistic pathological altruism fantasy checklist of virtue signaling. | |
| Well, I just want to help everyone. | |
| Who's going to pay for it? | |
| There's no reality, right? | |
| It makes people mad. | |
| And I'm not kidding about this. | |
| Like, it makes people insane. | |
| Because to think that you can spend forever and run up debts and unfunded liabilities, which in America are closing on $200 trillion, because like $205 trillion would be crazy! | |
| So anybody who thinks that you can spend and borrow and print forever and ever, And that the debt can accumulate no matter what is insane. | |
| Like, I'm not kidding about this. | |
| They're mentally fucked beyond words. | |
| They no longer understand basic math. | |
| If someone were to come up to you and say, hey, you know what? | |
| I got this cool trick. | |
| You want to see? | |
| It's really, really neat. | |
| I can inhale forever. | |
| I can inhale until I'm larger than the actual universe. | |
| Would you say that person had a... | |
| A few fries short of a happy meal. | |
| One wave short of a shipwreck. | |
| I'm going slightly mad. | |
| Right? | |
| Yeah, you would say that. | |
| You would say, what do you mean you can inhale forever? | |
| That's like impossible. | |
| And you certainly can't inhale to be bigger than the universe. | |
| Okay, what about debt that's 15 times the size of the economy and rising? | |
| And this is Musk's point, right? | |
| Thank you. | |
| People who think that you can borrow and spend forever and ever, amen, and that the borrowing and spending and money printing is rising, not linearly, but exponentially, right? | |
| It's not asymptotically because it will cross that final line of fatality, right? | |
| Somebody who said they're either morally insane or practically insane, right? | |
| If you were supposed to make $5 million in your business, and you only made $3 million in your business, and somebody high up in your company, the CEO, said, you know what? | |
| It's no problem, man. | |
| We could just draw money. | |
| If you say, what? | |
| Do you mean withdraw money? | |
| From where? | |
| No, no, no, no, not withdraw money. | |
| There's no with there. | |
| Just draw money. | |
| What are you talking about? | |
| Paper's cheap, right? | |
| We got pens. | |
| Pens are cheap. | |
| We'll just draw some money. | |
| We'll draw two bills and call them each a million dollars, and then bingo, bango, bongo, we fill their boots, climb the Everest, and we've gotten to five million dollars. | |
| And they'd be like, and if he'd said this with all seriousness, it's fine. | |
| It's fine. | |
| We only made three million. | |
| We get to five million. | |
| We just take some shit out of the copy machine, write on it, and we're good. | |
| I mean, would you consider that a sane person? | |
| That's their entire political system. | |
| That's their entire political system. | |
| And this guy as well, right? | |
| I'm not trying to say the guy who posted the comment. | |
| It's like he thinks that it's some bizarre, freaky system that means that in order to consume, that it produces the reality that in order to consume, |
