Even at zero dollars and a billion dollars they feel rare. Honestly I am surprised how many tech people still work for Facebooks and Googles of the world when they actively have used their platforms against most of their values. These are skilled people that can still make a living elsewhere.

I Think it’s because when you have enough money to never have to work again and you can move to some place nice, you can isolate yourself and your family from the rest of the world, like most rich people do.

So that’s what, 4-5 years at a society destroying tech co in exchange for lifelong freedom away from the people you have actively made life worse or impossible for.

It seems many people can live with that and in fact will jump at a chance to do it.
