“The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race is as ineradicable as the flea.”

Out of the nihilistic swamp where values have died and all that’s left is performance, spectacle, consumption, resentment, and power games an Übermensch shall arise eh?

Good for them. They should take as much as they can from dumb investors.

If you think one person can generate $250M in revenue, go for it! But, I suspect that's why most companies can't make a dollar in profits.

Aren’t there also like only a handful of people like them who know how this stuff actually works?

250M seems good considering the industry could be worth many trillions.
