    Gonna be real honest here, I would have taken that in a heartbeat. It’s an open source project, I could disappear with my money and the project could be continued from a different fork without ads. The only thing you’re really sacrificing is your reputation and with enough money I don’t care.

      and with enough money I don’t care.

      Most people are like you.

      Which is precisely why humanity will be just another of many dead end evolutionary cul-de-sacs in Earth’s natural history.

      I’ve come to peace with that, but this is a nice microcosm of the core reason. We can do better, we know better, but at the end of the day, almost all of us will just take the animalistic dopamine rush of winning.

      Live together or die alone. We choose the second one like breathing.

      If most humans were like Kempf (we’re not), we’d actually have a chance.
