Businesses having power similar to governments is a feature of human society, not a bug. It's when the generals are convinced to turn their spears away from the people and towards the fat kings that change has always happened.

Money is the Neutral God because its power comes entirely from our faith in it. It's purely driven by human energy.

Even as I complain about how the money system is unfair, I still hope that my well diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, gold, and a little crypto will come out ahead and bring me financial freedom which requires the existing money system to exist.

Theoretically everyone can just ignore the fat kings and their fake money and create their own system. The spears turn to dust when ignored. Though because you have to know "where" to start, this creation must be a 'fork' of reality.

I wouldn't want to reset the world into a "fair" state. With 8 billion people my house would suddenly be owned by lots of people.

To solve the New Money Game problem requires solving this forking problem. You have to KNOW how much you stand to gain and lose. (If you live in the U.S. no matter how low you are, you'll still lose)

People who live in the U.S. who want to topple the existing system without a clear idea of an alternative one come across as stupid and hypocritical because they haven't done the math to see that they'd *all* come out worse.

They can't even pick up a spear let alone be the general that leads the world to a brave new tomorrow. All they have is a sense of unfairness which is usually true but difficult to articulate.
