You know that Hitler was not only a famous painter, surely? I know it’s not a competition, but I’ve heard the guy has done some fairly bad things

I’ll get there eventually
Wow, the hubris is real. Ever heard of impostor’s syndrome? Because you obviously don’t suffer from it

Congratulations to Gwyneth Paltrow and Benedict Cumberbatch for their baby
Lei Feng, the epitome of temperance? He was very fond of long and hard poles, or so I’ve heard.
(And I like how everything is slightly wrong in this meme. Too bad no one was purged in this list)
Italian coproduction if I remember correctly, it’s a weird B-movie and I wonder how they managed to keep using the intellectual property for it.
They will rip your dick out, Jamie send that video of jacked hairless chimps
Lol your 12! Get in your grave grandpa
Very normal and rational reaction to Bibi’s hateful drivel. I prescribe you nothing, come back to my office when you’re in the all caps, three exclamation marks stage.
You’re really getting out of your way to miss my point. The number of professional writers is some orders of magnitude bigger than the number of billionaires, so much so that taking some arbitrary subset of writers of approximately the same size is easily done.
Another counter example (because I’m really nice like that): some contemporary French writers, just from memory:
Yes I know, it’s not 43, but I could easily go to my local bookshop and find 180 more, and again 43 billionaires is a lot for 70 million inhabitants. In any case the number of 500 writers in the article is laughable.
But that’s not the main point. What gets on my nerves is that the author of the article is cherry picking facts to entertain an idea. I could deliberately try something like “but you know there are more astronauts than true painters” and refute everything opposed to this with No true Scotsman fallacies.
The article proves absolutely nothing and the author makes a mess of logical thinking, while managing to blur what the wider perspective is supposed to be.
Just one then, there are 43 billionaires in France (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_billionaires_by_net_worth).
And there are around 40 people in the French Academy alone. That’s only a small part of French writers.
And 43 billionaires is a rather big number. Compared to Pakistan or Colombia where the comparison would be even more skewed.
Frankly the whole article is just bizarrely defining metrics to fit the narrative.
Given the respective numbers of professional book writers and billionaires, I doubt it very much.
Wise words from a wise person
The good thing about not using the /s, is that I can always tell myself that I’m downvoted because other people are morons, rather than thinking that I am a moron myself (which I am anyway).
(But for the record, I despise immensely people who think that some subsets of mankind are naturally less clever than others. And I understand that the meme was memed in good faith and its sexism doesn’t necessarily reflect the opinion of OP)
You see, a woman would have never thought of that simple solution, because her diminutive brain functions are only used for household tasks and cannot adapt to complex problem solving. This is why they shouldn’t drive or vote.
Ah OK, good point. I tend to forget that ‘good enough’ is not what other people might want in their measurements precision
The H word?
?? It’s correct, what’s the issue here?
So this is why there is a “Block user” option. Thanks for clearing that up
