The more you have, the more you have to worry about.

Antoun, so what you are saying is the rich have the same game plan as the Zionists. Build a bunker and crawl inside?

Wouldn't that speak to something deeply flawed in the model, like the Israelites idea they are super special, because their god told them so and so no one likes them because of their specialness?

When you use wealth and power to suck ever more wealth and power out of the larger society and world, it is a feedback loop. Feedback loops tend to spiral out of control, if there are no circuit breakers.

The Ancients devised debt jubilees as circuit breakers to compound interest three thousand years ago and here we are, stuck in the same doom loop.

We are these little linear, goal oriented creatures in this cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality and it's like we haven't really internalized the implications of the would being round, not flat.

Safe to say those benefiting from this cultural ignorance wouldn't want it dispelled, so who would?

Obviously the young, but they are not organized by anything other than being emotionally driven.

Those being squeezed in the middle, but there are innumerable ways they can be divided and conquered.

Another group that is rapidly becoming at loose ends are the academics. Yet they are also the most culturally ingrained.

We shall see. The old world is crumbling and the new is waiting to be born.
