You've said it all man. The value of life seems to only be worth if you've got enough material possessions - else, it's a prison. How messed up is that? How fucked up are we that this is even a discussion without the prior discussion about the value of life to begin with. So, this would only make sense if after you take the pill, your memory is wiped and you're given a random geographical location on earth. Would be fun to see a billionaire having to make it somewhere in the horn of Africa. |

"Naked and Afraid 2: Bezos in Somalia."
People would love that. It'd be like Black Mirror S02E05, White Bear.
Cable news outlets would have to air live human sacrifice just to keep up.
Anderson Cooper reluctantly lifts the obsidian blade. He looks distraught. "Do we really have to do this, guys?" From Erin Burnett, he hears a bene gesserit voice of outrage and command. Down plunges the knife. Mixed with the blood, tears stream down Anderson's face.
(On Fox, Tucker Carlson has a pro wrestler do it for him, and they just Photoshop his face on.)
You flip the channel.
Jeff Bezos has somehow acquired a bandolier, and is wearing the pelt of a human being.
"Damn."
