That Waterloo thing is so sick, the OG of fake news.
But ya, Alex is of course familiar with who the real richest are.. so it wouldn't be like "oh he just meant that casually and wasn't thinking in those terms"
So it's like he misdirects "I hate the richest ruling class" type of energy away from the source and onto Jeff.
It's definitely strange, how it's just this different world that they live in. I imagine it's like their capital allocation and what drives them is all about information and control at this point. That's how you can get fancy things like mis-direction tactics and perfectly groomed people at every turn. Like just next level wizard shit, probably pointing to exactly what the economic consequence of things is, etc (like AI simulation type of stuff probably). And I feel like over time it becomes more elaborate and costly (more difficult to perfectly predict us) and eventually we reach a tipping point where they can't afford to do it anymore.
And like even if they aren't trying to conquer the world really, it's just practical to them not to want things to change too much. They feel better built and more like kings in the world as it is now. The world wants to change, so control is needed just for the goal of keeping it closer to how it is now for longer.
I always assume that's the real story line.. they want to hold the paradigm that they're kings in, rather than they're trying to put us in prison cities etc
We forgive you, Rothschilds!! Those people in Waterloo shouldn't have been killing each other anyways.
My thought would be that after a certain amount of wealth is acquired. Let's say one billion dollars. The game changes, to acquisition of power.
There is very little that a billionaire can't do that a multi billionaire could do, apart from having more power or sway in the worlds events, or buying multi billion dollar companies. It's not like the profits of said companies will in any way improve the quality of life for someone who already has access to a billion in liquid assets.
I personally think that the long game is to have everything digital and linked to a chip, which at their discretion can be shut down. You don't need prison cities if you can shut people out from their own wealth. In essence it does away with the need for prisons, as the whole economic structure would practically be a prison.
I don't hold ill will towards those pulling the strings, in fact I pity them. Imagine the "Karma" that is in store for those who seek to trample down the world, in order to raise themselves up. I sure wouldn't want that hanging over my head.
Ya! I think that's pretty much it. It becomes multi-dimensional where it's no longer "the same thing" really.
Right, I'd imagine they're not happy. Like it's not even a judgment call, it just goes against the tide of what it means to be human, to want to be controlling others. So I don't think there's any room to be happy or satisfied from it.
It's like they're kind of born into a trap. And then letting go is scary, because they grow dependent on it, like if they're empty except for their riches they feel like they really need the riches. But actually they too I think would be better off when they get out of it and let go.
Spot on reply.
