William Shatner: My Trip to Space Filled Me With Sadness - Variety

In this exclusive excerpt from William Shatner’s new book, “Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder,” the “Star Trek” actor reflects on his voyage into space on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space shuttle on Oct. 13, 2021. Then 90 years old, Shatner became the oldest living person to travel into space, but as the actor and author details below, he was surprised by his own reaction to the experience.


no wonder bezos quickly shut him up and popped a bottle of champagne

    I can't help but see people like Bezos as less human than myself, based on freakish shit like that.

      I've been told that the evidence is more than strong enough to consider the ultra-rich boug fucks a different species entirely based on material, anthropological, and sociological standards. And we don't even need that academic validation to come to that conclusion :agony-shivering:

        biological speciation is when any individual from a population cannot reproduce fertile, viable offspring with an individual from another population. For example, a horse and a donkey can breed a mule but they are always sterile. Dogs are all the same species because they are all interbreedable.

        Rich humans can obviously reproduce viable kids with proles, so biological speciation has not yet occurred. If they begin extensive gene modifications on themselves that is cost prohibitive, they may who knows.

      They're humans possessed by the Real God, capital

      The inhuman drive to capital accumulation has stripped their humanity away

      They are homosapiens for sure. But people that rich lack any kind of humanity. They live in a different plane of existence. They literally take planes everywhere. They don't interact with any one that isn't their handler, on the same level as them.

      They are devoid of what creates humanity. They are souless succubus draining the world of it's vitality so they can have a large number above their picture.
