      When I get my mansion, there will be rooms for a live-in staff of note-takers, editors, programmers, artists etc. A full assembly line converting my shitposting into bestselling bluecheck books. We’ll take all the profits and plow them back into expanding the mansion.

      So far a bunch of useless parasite millennials trying to leech onto my mansion idea and no millionaires stepping in to fund it smh 😡 millennials go away, go occupy some containers in a Walmart parking lot 🤬 mansions are for gen x, once boomers vacate them, no cutting in line

      Why is everyone assuming I want a commune with fellow creators? 🤔 When have I ever expressed communitarian/coop-living interests? I want people working FOR me, not alongside me. Authoritah like Cartman. Butlers and cooks. People I can boss around. Live-in for my convenience.pic.twitter.com/nzOF5KOD1h

      Spent 7 years living in coop style housing in college and grad school. Been there, done that, had enough. Mansion living quarter space is reserved for people working for me. There will be pagers, and SLAs with response times specified when I buzz.

      What I really need is Igors a la Discworld. Geniuses who can do anything I can dream up, with a “yeth, mather!” work ethic. Did I mention my mansion will be on a dark ominous hill with frequent lightning strikes and howling winds? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_(Discworld) …

          Dunno why young people have such narrow pacifist-egalitarian anprim/trad/ancap domestic aspirations. Damn hunter-gatherer larpers. Opt-in authoritarian mansions are so much richer as a design space. Democratic in public, authoritarian in private is a time-tested formula.

          Yeah, if we can’t live with you in a fun commune we should at least decide what you make 😡

          That's what Andy Rubin's Playground space reminded me of. I've been to a few workshops where rich nerds have personal IDEOs setup to make their ideas with wizards on staff.

          I want a cave... with a batcave... with a wall of monitors through which to communicate with my network of minions. They don't have to deliver food, but they might have to order delivery for me.
