Multibillionaire

It is not just the multibillionaire Elon Musk who warns that humanity is in danger for having all of its eggs in one basket that is the Earth.

For some religious people, hope lies not in this world, but beyond it. Gnostics believe that this world is inherently evil, and the objective is to "know" and escape. Buddhists believe that a pervasive condition in this world is dissatisfaction, no matter if you are a multibillionaire or not.

I wonder if there exists a universe where there is no poverty. Would it be maybe an after-life universe? If we always think about poverty, our mind will register that we are really poor. Maybe, in fact, most everybody is poor, at least, financially. Even if one is a multibillionaire, one's expenses may be proportionately huge, like hundreds of millions of dollars.

I talked to two Lulu Islander neighbours today, the 15th of April of 2023. Michael the Dane-French told me how his siblings telecommunicating from the Atlantic coast lambasted him about his personal stories about extraterrestrials. (Elon Musk the multibillionaire still worries about Fermi's Paradox.) Then, I saw Derek the Filipino telling me about a great lumberjack's café that also serves Chinese breakfast.

But it took Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the multibillionaire with a reputation for cool-headedness, to actually bar him, beginning in April, from City Hall news conferences.
