This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not a tech billionaire but otherwise James Cameron also matches that description. Actually Cameron is way more hardcore into "space is scary", and I "love deep sea" directions.

If you think his movies aren't all about the tech you need to think again.

In the past maybe, but the last two Avatar films didn't really push any new tech.

Well yeah, but from another dimension's space.

You're also from space.

He doesn't count. Too much Silicon Valley for Seattle

Also Paul Allen from Microsoft was pretty heavily invested into space shit when he died.

There also was that one billionnaire that died in a Titanic exploration accident. Poor son though, he didn't want to go.

The deep sea is way more important for us to understand than space. Well in some regards.

It would be more immediately beneficial.

A man chooses.

A slave obeys.

Silly fallacy. What about the deep abysses on planets we don't yet know exist?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 2 hours ago
