This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

the short-term plan is to slurp up all the stuff while they can. The long term plan is that there is no place for plebs in the automated future. The unwritten prologue to their sci-fi adventure is us commoners being abandoned to starve on a poisoned and resource-depleted mud ball as the intrepid billionaires go off to explore the cosmos with their robot pals.
Honestly you're giving them way too much credit. There's no long-term plan. They're incapable of having long-term plans. Most these people can't think past next quarter.
They could build their perfect utopia if kids these days just worked harder and complained less.
Tho on a sidenote what are the psychological affects of being stuck in a normally-inhabitable place where only the equipment can protect you.
How long does it take before at least one person goes insane and starts stabbing people is what I am asking.
i mean people in my country regularly go insane and go on shooting sprees...
Well, these billionaires won't survive long in space, and AI is a voracious thing. If the world's population drops to 1 billion or less, it will save their asses for 50-200 years at most, and then they will all probably die or create digital copies of themselves that will also disappear. Honestly, I have no idea.
