The bad news? Steve fucking Jobs still has a devoted postmortem following for no fucking reason except that people felt that cool with ipods and iphones while he was being an abusive asshole to everyone around him and stealing credit from people that actually made things. 
He will be a footnote in a history book on the last days of the barbaric ideology known as capitalism. With things like the Cyber Truck being noted as one of the many poorly made expensive junk that wealthy fools wasted money on before mankind truely matured.
We will look on this era the same way people look at the eras where we threw pee out onto the streets and burned witches “How did they love like that?”
He might not even be mentioned by name, probably more like “As the hight of the collapse of capitalism, Western resources were poured into the control of a handfull of incompetent US oligarchs, who enjoyed the massive wealth, and delivered little of value in return.”
The 2010s-2020s will be seen as the second Gilded Age and Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos will be remembered alright, but as robber barons.
I know that
would only slow the decay (if even that) toward barbarism because socialism is out of the question for her and her associates, but I admit I take some selfish pleasure in seeing just how deeply intertwined 
and 
are now, and being two gigantic bigoted pieces of shit with massive and possibly unforgivable cults of personality around both of them, I will enjoy watching whatever hubris-laden downfall potentially awaits them after “rich, white, and connected” mitigation is factored in.
When have there ever been 1 billion Buddhists?
There’s like half a billion now, so there’s probably been a billion total cumulatively.
No that doesn’t count, it’s just the same souls over and over
I assumed 1B would have to revere simultaneously. Kind of like a Spirit Bomb situation.
ZYBERTRUKKK STANS, LEND ME YOUR LOVE OF THE TRUCKKK
Spirit bombs take energy from everything including inanimate objects too, which includes dead people.
Wow that’s bs. Then why call it spirit bomb?
I think everything, including inanimate objects having spirits is a traditional Japanese belief
The bazinga devotee is wrong about many things, but let him cook.
Buddhism probably peaked in %age of the world population around 200BCE-1000CE, when it was spread across most of India and China. Like every religion it’s probably peaking in absolute numbers either now, or sometime in the past half century, at about 500 million.
Super hard to estimate populations far back in time, but seems quite likely more than 1/8th of the world’s population followed it at one time, at least.
500-1000 years for the final sprint of his life
If I’m reading that correctly, this bazinga is so devoted to St. ELO~N that he seriously believes that the ketamine and hatred powered torso with floppy limbs has a centuries long life expectancy. Considering how he’s melting in real time faster than his once unassailable reputation, and that no matter how rich he is off of subsidy money he can’t be bothered to do any meaningful exercise or eat anything more complicated than chicken nuggies with caffeine free diet Cokes,
Nobody will remember Elon Musk ten years after his death, and that will be a good thing. The engineers who actually did any of the good inventions will come out.
His brainwormism is equally as harmful as every impact he’s had on the material world.

I truly hope so.
you see an engineer is when you make a phone but a god is when you abandon your family and stab all your business partners in the back and generally just treat everyone around you like shit
When it comes to narcissists and their “reality distortion fields” as they were called regarding Jobs, YES.
Obviously I’m not arguing for the deification of Jobs, but by this person‘s logic Jobs is way closer to “godhood” than Elon. There’s way more people out there using Apple products than driving Teslas.
I suppose the cultist could argue that people use Apple products more, but those that use ZYBERTRUKKKs and the like are way more fanatical about them, even when they fuck up, or especially when they fuck up.
STILL LOVE THE 
TRUCKKK 
these people are so fucking delusional with such twisted warped anti-human values that i cant imagine what sort of social environment they live in which sustains this cope

makes sense, amazing how gamers are consistently assholes
I strongly believe the “what if everything is a simulation and everyone I disagree with is NPCs therefore they are not really people and it’s okay to hurt them”
are just applied brain.
While this might fall into the category of religious delusion, I think it’s more likely some grift that positively absurd. A delusion is not something someone can control, and I’d bet this person made a conscious decision to be this bad.
That guy makes amazing animations. Disturbing and creepy, but so are the actual people being portrayed in them.
Maybe some day they’ll be art exhibits in a better future.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Does anyone remember that one guy who’d post to the anarchism comm on lemmy (I think) who write posts like “Let us all give thanks to Satoshi for inventing bitcoin” in this weirdly Christian liturgical cadence?
This sorta reminds me of that
Was there even 1B people in the world 2000 years ago?
Ulysses, you’re back! We missed you!
