 Another great quote from Cory Doctorow's new book "The Internet Con How to Seize the Means of Computation". This reminds me of a beautiful nch of f people in the news:

“If I am rich, it must be because I am brilliant. How can you tell I’m brilliant? Well, for starters, I’m rich. Having proven my wealth and brilliance, it’s clear that I should be in charge of things.”

 @a33c5f9a @b92dcc07  It doesn't surprise me that the rich people believe it. What gets me is that so many non-rich people do.
