      Accurate. Tech executives often see themselves as so far ahead of the rest of the world that they’re truly a different species. They see a world full of legacy stupidity and think they know better. The constitution is an artifact to them, not an ideal. Their actual ideals are unhinged nightmares of uploaded consciousness and the like. They don’t consider themselves human but post-human, or at least eager to become so.

      Wasn’t there a study showing a large correlation between CEOs actually being psychopaths? Supposedly that’s the trait that makes them hyper successful since they only care about themselves?
