an excerpt from what Rush was referencing from an article in the UK Guardian..
It’s a story about a futurist and a journalist who was asked to make a speech to what he thought was about a hundred hedge fund tech guys, and it turned out to be five super rich hedge fund guys wanting to ask him about his thoughts on what they think the future’s gonna be.
And their basic belief is that human beings are destroying the planet. The Event, capital T, capital E, is imminent, it’s the end of a habitable earth as we know it, brought about by humanity. The first event will be a cataclysmic climate change, which will then bring on famine and thirst and pestilence and death. And these guys want to know how they can exempt themselves and survive it and keep the others who survive who don’t have anything away from where they live....
...But it’s obvious there’s nothing in their life more important than them. There’s nothing in life bigger than themselves. And anybody with any humility knows that there’s always something bigger than yourself, that life itself is about much more than just you. But these guys, huh-uh. They think human beings are preprogrammed to destroy, and nothing can change it. That’s why they’re so seriously occupied with colonizing the Moon or Mars or finding a way to live 10,000 leagues under the sea with Captain Nemo.
I want to read to you the conclusion of the journalist that interviewed them here, one of the paragraphs of conclusion. He makes a good observation. Let me share this. I didn’t highlight this, but this is worth noting. “Our movies and television shows play out these fantasies for us.” The Handmaid’s Tale is a classic example of what these lunatics believe...

...“The CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked: ‘How do I maintain authority over my security force after,” this climate collapse? His concern was, okay, he’s got a bunker, he’s gonna put his family in there and he’s gonna have a security force. He wanted to know how he maintains authority over them. In abject panic with every man out for himself, how does he maintain the boss relationship? And they wanted to know how are they gonna pay these servants if there isn’t any money? Because they all think a full-fledged economic collapse is coming, along with the climate collapse that’s gonna cause the end of the earth. And they’re serious!
And they refer to this as The Event, capital T, capital E. It was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, the social unrest, the nuclear explosion, the unstoppable virus, or the Mr. Robot hack that takes everything down. In other words, these five guys were dead serious wanting answers to what they should do when humanity destroys the earth.
These guys are obviously crackpots! They are obviously wackos. They obviously believe this stuff, and they are among the wealthiest people in the world. They are eccentrically wealthy. And they invest in tech companies, and they direct tech companies in how software is written and so forth. This is not just a bunch of Looney Toon leftists on campus that believe this stuff. But hang on. It gets even better.

this was one of his best lines:
What are these people missing in their lives? I’m telling you, it’s not complicated at all. These people are missing God. They either don’t believe in a God of creation or they think something else is. Whatever it is, they don’t think they are. But this idea — look, it’s one thing for a bunch of, you know, young, inexperienced, idealistic college students to believe in all this apocalyptic stuff, but for these people?
These are the people you expect to have intelligence and common sense to realize all this is a hoax and a crock. And not just the climate change aspect, but the whole idea that humanity is inherently destructive of the universe and that the only hope for survival is for these precious few humans to find a way to escape all the rest of us and what we do. And having the ability to control us even after they have escaped from us.
