We don’t talk enough about billionaires as a class, with anthropological patterns and stuff. Though they get tons of attention, almost all of it is either valorizing or demonizing individual attention, or vague commentary about a strawman top-hatted archetype.

Alright, I’m starting the new field of billionaire studies. It will be fair and balanced, and neutral to class politics. It will treat them just like any other group studied by the social sciences and humanities.

I kinda am that too since a lot of my work is in climate stuff, but as someone with no kids and old enough that I’ll probably be dead by the time it gets really bad, I’m almost neutral to whatever scenario unfolds
