Way to lick the boot, Victor Tangermann. Just because they survive this hypothetical "life-extinction event" doesn't make them better or special, it makes them lucky that they inherited or exploited so many resources. In fact, the limitless greed of billionaires and giant corporations is almost certainly what will doom us all. Hoarding more wealth than you could ever spend while others suffer and starve isn't "the best of us", it's psychotic...
I read it as tongue firmly planted in cheek, especially after he noted they were using the courts to address issues with their “post apocalyptic fantasy” community.
Maybe. Unfortunately, too many genuinely use the same language to refer to wealth-hoarders. Also, when the very first sentence in an article written by the Senior Editor of a publication contains a typo, I tend not to give them the benefit of the doubt.
