    I’d say Western civilization died when people started being worth more than they could ever possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes.

    I wonder what Elon would know about such things…

      To live your life sure, but it’d actually pretty easy to spend it if you wanted to spend it.

      You could easily dump a couple hundred billion into fusion research for example.

      If it worked well you’d probably become a trillionaire, but no guarantes there.

        That’s not the kinda stuff that should be dictated by individual people just because they are rich, but by a democracy and/or a team of experts.

        Every civilization is not Western civilization.
