He looks like a genuine American Psycho

Joe Lonsdale. He’s emblematic of the problems of the rich: he’s a billionaire, he’s an entitled dumbass, he despises education, and he wants to kill people less privileged than he is. He has a name for students who seek accommodations for disabilities.

Loser generation. At Stanford, it’s a hack for housing, though and at some point, I get it, even if it’s not my personal ethics. Terrible leadership from the university.

College is only for rich, healthy people who want to join a frat. He also disparages university education.

Claiming your child has a disability to give them a leg up became an obvious dominant game theoretic strategy for parents without honour in the 2010s. Great signal to avoid a family / not do business with parents who act this way.

…

No great companies are interested in the BS games played by universities.

What great companies? Lonsdale was a member of the PayPal Mafia, and he made his fortune at Palantir — not a great company by any means, but a damned evil one. He got a BS degree in computer science from Stanford, one of those elite colleges that the rich pollute with their bogus aspirations. Who needs an education when any dumbass can get filthy rich by gouging government contracts and being buddies with other amoral billionaires.

Remember, this guy was a cofounder of the University of Austin — he’s undermining his own scam by scorning universities, which tells you he’s not very bright.

Now he’s also defending turning murder into spectacle.

Joe Lonsdale defended open-air executions in a series of posts on X, saying their reintroduction would be an example of the “masculine leadership” the country is sorely lacking.

“If I’m in charge later,

Wait. Hold it right there. He has hopes of being in charge? Dear god no.

we won’t just have a three strikes law. We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others,” he wrote. “Our society needs balance. It’s time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable.”

Biggest sign of an entitled asshole: he throws around the word “masculine” as if it is a flawless great good, and treats “feminine” as a weakness. I want leaders who are human and humane, and don’t think more than half the population are unsuited for learning or leading because of their biology.

Acquit Luigi Mangione. His job isn’t done.
