    I take comfort in the fact that Oracle hasn’t been able to release new products. They’re basically a legal team wrapped around their existing software.

    That said, fuck this guy.

    If those are your views on privacy, mister, then let’s start by you giving everyone access to your personal messages, unedited or unrestricted.

    Maybe a vast human being network can ensure billionaires stop existing. Let’s do that one instead.

    Keep in mind that Larry Ellison is fundamentally incapable of caring whether or not “citizens will be on their best behavior.” The only reason he would say a thing such as this is because he sees an opportunity to make money from such a system.

    Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

      I think this is great advice for billionaires in general.

      You have to be extremely sick to become one.

    Fuck this fascist! We need to eat them ASAP. Or just bury the useless flesh. Either way, they shouldn’t come back from this…

    Yeah, that would make any kind of political speech practically impossible. Activism? Nope, out of the question. Creative artistic expression? Better watch out for the thought police.

    We don’t need “best behavior,” that would be so incredibly boring.

    His out of touch suggestion is completely incompatible with democracy.

      The United States already prosecutes many activists as terrorists, or at least tries to charge them. All this would do is turn that up to eleven.

    I vote we test it on Billionaires first. Especially their financial activities.
