Smartest man on the Cinder?

How does that future play out for him and his Illuminati buddies?
At a certain point of wealth, the top 1% no longer compete for the highest net worth. They compete for the most power they can achieve. It's a game to them. They could care less about the safety of regular people, they have their own paid for security.

Imagine is Soros can claim he changed the very fabric of the USA with his wealth and power under the guise of "Social Justice". No one could ever top him.

That sounds like a ridiculous film plot. Old dudes in the dark playing chess, sipping brandy. Making wages over the peasants like Greek Gods. But I guess 2020 is proving how ridiculous things can actually get.

I wish I too could live in denial, and make jokes about stuff like this. I'd have a much easier life

I don't know much about him so today I started reading and trying to understand him, because he is thoroughly confusing. But his motivation seems to be his repulsion at the Bush administration. That seems to have been a major trauma for him.

The irony is that he professes to hate Fascism and Communism, but he is funding organizations that are expressly totalitarian in quashing speech and based in marxist ideology. It makes no sense.

His epiphany seems to be that the Enlightenment is half right (objective reality applies to natural truths, but not to human interpretive truths) and that the postmodernists are half wrong (objective truth does not exist at all). So he has this in between philosophy about existence

He is a very very strange cookie, there has got to be some mental illness buried under somewhere

I know its hard to tell on the Internet but my post comes with extra sarcasm on it.
Who told you I "get up and go to work"? You're having a laugh if you think I actually do that! I work mostly for myself at this point.

I don't think there is any "code" to crack. All pretty obvious if you are aware of things.
