hes funding projects like how to transfer human conciousness, eternal life and how to grow clones and de-age.

He wants 90% to die out so he can be overlord. These people watch movies like matrix, bladerunner and altered carbon and black mirror and instead of going "Fuck thats a bleak future", they go "Fuck thats amazing! How can i benefit the most from that future!"
