however most wealth is active wealth. it's put to use to create systems that aim to "take advantage" of the world through profits. (and hopefully the invisible hand makes it non zero-sum & gaia doesn't die)https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1344882109282828291 …
if the economy were a computer, wealth would be the code that runs on computer. the stock market is not the economy, but it runs on TOP of the economy. it's information is embedded invisibly within the system and makes known its existence through REAL effects in reality.
when stocks crash, the economy can become depressed just like a computer w/ no code to run. with no future to look towards, there is no present. this parallels biological depression. it is an inability to imagine a better future.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1351777921338286080 …
popularity and leadership both focus attention in the present. they don't necessarily turn it into wealth. mob leaders and short-lived fashions often burn too brightly and die before they can crystallize it into wealth.
vice versa wealth does not always command attention. north korean billionaires do not have much sway outside externally. throwing money at wall-street protestors may just anger. the efficacy of wealth is bounded within its domain, which is a product of how it was crystallized.
attention also is cyclic. it has a refractory period. it can't just always be ON without rest. people die when they don't sleep. (for reasons not yet understood) life can't be lived as a constant orgasm.
this implies that wealth crystallization is a LOSSY process. it allows you to store leadership/popularity/attention-control over time but it is both both less potent in its ability to recreate coordinate attention AND is bound by the per moment attention bottleneck.
e.g. civilization games. the goal is to expand culturally, technologically, & militarily. you can hoard money but often times it's better to just increase production of one of the 3 main things. money offers buffer for flex decisions but it's not THAT useful to a nation state.
wealth crystallization is done only as a way to transfer energy so that culture/tech/military can develop. having a big mountain of wealth crystallized doesn't make sense. it's untapped potential that should be released.
there are some big reasons an individual is hoarding crystallized wealth. - planning to move to another civilization. - wants to survive a div destroying doomsday - doesn't believe in civ's ability to grow, believe it to be backwards.
these natural biases mean that wealth accrued to immigrants tend to become crystallized. what is the US but a country of immigrants? it is built of individual empires that have consider themselves sovereign. sovereign states. sovereign companies.
everyone watches the US because it's like the messiest archetypical drama show of all: a bunch of orphans try to make a home.
