I know that at a basic psychological level, a person generally must be some form of antisocial/sociopath/psychopath,narcissist to become a billionaire.

Does becoming a billionaire simply allow for/encourage more extreme levels of behaviors or are they predisposed?

Is it a rite of passage/secret handshake, or is it just "perks" of being evil?

The simplest solution seems to be to detach CEO's from their internal organs.

A conspiracy of global elites? Pffft.

That's crazytalk.

It's not like Peter Thiel ,one time president and current member of the BILDERBERG steering committee , and a bunch of other dudes who worked at PayPal are solely responsible for the trajectory of technology...

Or like some forum on economics somewhere in the world would coordinate economics, and make some crazy plan with a super unbelievably literal name like agenda 2030 with the dude at the head saying "you'll own nothing and you will be happy"

I mean... Crazy. Right.

The rich should have already been filleted and cooked.

In america they are know as the new apostolic Reformation or the Seven Mountain Mandate/7M/7MM. And yes, their goal is Armageddon. And yes, mike Johnson, ted Cruz and father, boebert, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and dozens of other Republicans and influential and powerful people on the far right spectrum are members of or closely associated with these groups. And many of the outsider types have been quietly given government positions.

Of special note is Paula White, trump's "spiritual advisor"

Followers believe that by fulfilling the Seven Mountain Mandate, they can establish the kingdom of God on earth and bring about the end times.

Peter thiel is everything wrong with the world.

He is a plague, a cancer, a curse.

He is in the Epstein files.

He likely had his gay lover killed for revealing he was gay.

Peter thiel is the enemy of humanity.

Peter thiel is an antichrist

I agree that it should be able to infer the intent, but I stand by that it remain somewhat unclear and open to interpretation. Eg, If such language was used in a legal contract, it would not be enough to simply say, well, they should understand what I meant.

The people doing this test, I'm sure, are not linguistic masters, nor legal scholars.

There are lines of work where clarity is essential.

And what if my question actually was asking, should I just go for a walk instead of driving that far?

I know the answer. But as 30% demonstrated, clarity IS needed.

Understanding the intent of the question *and understanding why it could be interpreted differently *\and understanding why is it is a poorly phrased question:

There are 3 sentences.

I want to wash my car. No location or method is specified. No 'at the car wash'. No 'take my car to the car wash' . No 'take the car through the car wash'

A car wash is this far. Is this an option? A question. A suggestion. A demand?

Should I walk or drive? To do what? Wash the car? Ok. If the car wash is an option, that seems very far. But walking there seems silly. Since no method or location for washing the car was mentioned I could wash my own car.

Do you see how this works?

Yes, you can infer what was implied, but the question itself offers no certainty that what you infer is what it is actually implying.

Without reading the article, the title just says wash the car.

I could go for a walk and wash my car in my driveway.

Reading the article... That is exactly the question asked. It is a very ambiguous question.

*I do understand the intent of the question, but it could be phrased more clearly.

You know, it wasn't always like this

Not very long ago, just before your time
Right before the towers fell, circa '99
This was catalogs, travel blogs, a chatroom or two
We set our sights and spent our nights waiting
For you, you, insatiable you
Mommy let you use her iPad, you were barely two
And it did all the things we designed it to do
Now, look at you, oh, ha, look at you
You, you, unstoppable, watchable
Your time is now, your inside's out, honey, how you grew
And if we stick together, who knows what we'll do?
It was always the plan
to put the world in your hand

~ Bo Burnham
