In general,

I don't respect the authority of people who have somehow managed to go through life without doing work, yet who think they can tell the rest of us how to live. I would include on that list the Buddha, a work-avoider who depended on others' labor for his sustenance; Ludwig von Mises, a rich man's client in the U.S., like Peter Thiel's Eliezer Yudkowsky, because the market had no demand for Austrian economists; Jacque Fresco, lately rebranded for the internet generation by Peter Joseph with his Zeitgeist movies; and various people associated with "transhumanism" who seem to have money without having to earn it through the production and exchange of goods and services in the market like the rest of us.
