This year’s Founders' Letter

I assume that by the "horrific experiment with centrally planned masterminding that cost humanity 94m lives" you mean communism. If so, that's a drastic oversimplification and (imo) incorrect assessment of what actually led to those deaths.

A horrific experiment in central planning has killed lots of people, so has a horrific experiment in letting rich people run things (you know, capitalism). Now we can get the best of both killing capacities at once!

Lots of people have been killed at all stages of history. We're currently living in probably the least violent times ever.

Of course, communism wasn't the problem there. We can do it right this time, we're smarter than they were.
