ort Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 James Cameron doesn’t do what James Cameron does for James Cameron, James Cameron does what James Cameron does because he is James Cameron. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air_Delivery Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 James Cameron is actually a legit innovator in deepsea exploration. These dipshits were just tourists with a CEO who huffed his own farts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These dipshits were just tourists with a CEO who huffed his own farts. He was just on with Anderson and was interesting to hear his experience/expertise in this field. He was pretty much saying that with the material used in the hulls design, it was much like a ticking time bomb ready to explode or in this case, implode. Something about the ships material being use was held with adhesives to build its protective shell at that depth. He also said because of that design with the adhesive, it would contract and expand with each dive down and lose precious holding of the layers. So the ship was getting weaker with each dive because of this poor decision and the signs were there/warned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air_Delivery Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Its funny that while Glass Onion was a fun but just alright movie, how accurate a parody Miles Bron is of these douchebag techbro CEOs that think they are smarter than everyone by marketing cutting corners as being a "disruptor".

LazyPiranha Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Is James Cameron engineering submarines in the same way Elon Musk is engineering electronic cars, or is he doing more than signing a fat check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he's not like... THE guy doing the design, but he does get deep into the nitty gritty stuff, is physically present at every stage of development, and he knows a hell of a lot more about engineering submersibles than Elon will ever know about how to make a car. I think the difference is that James Cameron doesn't do it for money. Deep sea exploration is a legit passion of his. He's not a tourist. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds pretty legit to me. That interview he said he has been down to see the Titanic 33 times. I just read during one trip, a strong current trapped them against the stern of the Titanic and they were down there for 16 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 So, on reflection - As much as I think it was in poor taste to meme the demise of these people, I do get it. These are people who have wealth that we will never know, who do nothing other than profit from our sweat and blood, and you want us to shed a tear? Let me play the world's tiniest violin because an expedition that you knew could be deadly turned out to actually be deadly, and seemingly in no small part because the CEO hates safety regulations that put the rest of us at risk the same way all corporations want to put us at risk, then blame us when shit goes south. The same regulations that you shoot down so you can make an extra buck. This kind of event does shed light on how the common person actually views these people. Imagine if Musk or Bezos actually bit it during a rocket launch. When the wealth of the few has reached a level where a (seeming) majority of people reflect on their deaths with apathy at best or joy at worst... maybe there's a problem. And again, I get it.

Xbob42 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And there ain't no way you're playing a more stupid game than watching the CEO pick up a $20, 20 year old generic ass gamepad with Madonna bras on it and thinking "boy howdy this sure seems like a good idea." The 19 year old "kid" was an adult and I'm pretty sure knew his dad thought safety was gay as he was happy to tell people. I'd be asking my dad what he wanted in his eulogy, not getting in the coffin next to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 While it's very sad 5 people lost their lives, they knew perfectly well what they were signing up for. I really can't feel too badly about this.

But there is no way to justify wanting them to horrifically suffer on top of that without invoking some pretty ugly values. It's a common human reaction to wish for such suffering, but it's not one we should encourage. That's where I land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
