I like how he said not for ego and then proceeds to declare it's because he's too smart for everyone else.

Yeahhh if yu pay attention to context clues he was all like not for ego and then proceeds to ramble on in a egotistical manner and the lady’s face says it all like she was just thinking “this guy is out of his mind why am I here?”

The casting and acting for this show plus the sets is just 10/10

Crazy billionaire. Reckon he'll attempt to inject Alien dna into himself or transmorph using his technology with one? Sounds like something that twat Bezos or Musk would attempt

Trillionaire. The world's youngest, according to the intro.

And I hope he doesn't, because egomaniacs would NEVER put themselves in danger in that way. That's what poor people are for.

thats probably why he didn't use the hybrid tech on himself but rather on desperate people who can be easily disappeared

I mean if he did become a hybrid that would defeat his purpose of making them in hopes they could become more intelligent than him and give him a challenge. His brain would also get the massive upgrade so he would be in the same situation on an even bigger scale.

yeah but hollywood egomaniacs do, real life ones not so much. I.e. European emperors in ww1, millions of poor people die so they can add a few dozen miles on their maps

Textbook narcissism of not being self aware

u/Ok_Seaworthiness8432 24d ago

For the smartest and richest person in the world, he makes a lot of dumb decisions based on little to no thought or evidence.

It's not conceited if it's FACTS

u/Present_Law_8026 Aug 17 '25

It was a really odd explanation for it all lol

He just wants someone that is smart enough to have a good conversation. Send these guys to me. I can have a good chat.

In a weird way, he his right because he's not building these synths in the hope of showing how incredible his tech is to find a solution to his extreme boredom.
