I would trust myself to spend it

I mean, i might end up playing it a lil too much and it might get in the way of the tasks i should be doing. But eventually I’ll either finish it or get bored so even if that does happen it won’t be the world.

I would be assassinated long before I could deliver a world that deserves to exist.

Give me the money, it will be wild.

I’d maybe be better, but I’d still have a kickass life.

Egotistical altruism… Yes.

The better that we can make everybody else’s life, the better your own life becomes in return.

i think super rich people do fucked up shit because:

1. that’s the only way you become mega-rich, and
2. they want more

if i already have ‘infinite’ money, why would i want more, and since i’m getting this via magic or something, there’s no incentive to be evil in order to become or remain mega-rich. in short, yeah, i reckon i’d be alright, and we’d all be better off in the long run.

Infinite? Nah. I’m sure I’d use the money for good but even well-intended I do think there is such a thing as too much intervention.

No. I believe that adage about absolute power corrupting absolutely. I don’t trust myself or any other single person with that kind of money.

I’d basically become Bill Gates without the monopoly.

People criticise the big philanthropists for skewing all the work there way, but that’s more a product of not enough funding elsewhere than of the foundations being bad themselves.

I’d use the same tactics misinformation spreaders use to counter them. I’d buy all the media outlets I could and start forcing them to run left leaning and communist praising stories. I’d send the Murdoch’s a check with “Kill Yourselves” written across the envelope and then play the rich guy “Whoopsie!” when they try to get me in trouble. I’d establish permanent funding for public schools with an attachment; you have to investigate each child’s style of learning if you want the sweet 10 mil a pop. Honestly I think I can make every oligarch throw up and try to assassinate me.

As someone who is currently working at a company that has no problems of cash flow yet is still penny pinching, often on things that would actively save costs after an initial serious investment, yes, I would not change and most probably burn through that money to do positive things for people.

I also have a tendency to look as how things might happen down the road, so time is not really that much of a concern for me.

With so much money at my discretion, I can say with a fair degree of confidence I’d been putting money into projects amd initiatives I would most probably never benefit from their results.

But would I be popular or well liked in that endeavour? I seriously doubt.

I trust my will to do it. But I will fail for two reasons:

1. I don’t fully understand humans. I will try a world that would be perfect if everyone would be like me. Problem? That’s not the world we live in.

2. Even with all the money and a good plan I’m a bullet away from the ground. And I’m pretty sure anyone trying to fix things becomes a priority target right away.

Bourgeois class traitors

While the idea of the class traitor is one typically applied to the proletariat, it can also be used to describe members of the upper-class who believe in and espouse socialist ideals. For example, Peter Kropotkin, an anarcho-communist who wrote The Conquest of Bread, was born into a noble family. Additionally, Friedrich Engels, partner and lifelong friend of Karl Marx, the revolutionary socialist, was himself a son of a wealthy factory owner. Such people sacrifice their ability to be part of the capitalist upper-class for the sake of who they see as the oppressed, even if it hurts their status in the process.

Does “corrupted by power” cover mega building projects?

I don’t know where morality falls on my desire to build New Tenochtitlán.

Oh hell no. I would not trust myself.

Even less I would trust those I empower to fix problems because corruption is everywhere
