I had the misfortune of talking to a “wealth expert” about the absurdity of a billion dollars before. I used the million seconds is about a week and a half whereas a billion seconds is 31 years. In essence he said, “You don’t understand. Wealth is logarithmic.” Ah, well touché. Can’t argue with a math word.

You should have told them that how much capitalism is fucking people is logarithmic
You don’t understand. Wealth is logarithmic.

Yeah it's logarithmic because nobody should need over $2 million. You are stealing exponentially at billions of dollars.
Pretty sure he was always dumb as hell because he should have said wealth is exponential. Or he meant that wealth growth should be measured on a logarithmic scale, which like, why though? I think he just learned the word and thought it sounded cool.
