YC alum so pretty sure this is not a fake HN ID :)
i wish people didn't see this stuff as Bond villainy though. this is clearly a failure on my part in terms of communication... thinking on how to remain authentic but reduce that effect.
I think your message is 'for whom it's for.' Based on how the average person is programmed to think/act in society, what you've said is unlikely to be well-received by most, IMHO.
I'm not yet in your (stated) position, and trying to discuss such matters typically raises hackles & hisses. I think this has mostly to do w/people deciding that they'll never be in any position to live the sort of life you've mentioned. Could go one about this for a while, but won't.
Again, salute to you if you are actually living the life.
Totally encourage working on your message. You are likely not going to see much support or agreement by boasting about enjoying the benefits provided by society while dodging paying for it through taxes.
well i don't agree that i am "enjoying the benefits provided by society while dodging paying for it through taxes." i think people who create wealth pay for society already.
i am thinking of working on my message, but i'm not going to change my convictions just because people don't like it.
You pay for society through taxes, which you are deliberately avoiding. Many public services and infrastructure which you and your company take advantage of are paid-for by taxes.
