Thank you. A reliable truth teller guiding the way and pin pointing which ghoul family’s are pulling NWO strings !

I do not doubt that worshippers of total coercive power want what they worship. But I have doubts they can get and sustain it for long.

The system they seem to aim for is highly centralized and techno-centric--because AI and the vast infrastructure that supports it need vast computing power. This technology must of course be maintained, even including the robots envisioned as maintenance workers. This vast technology requires chips, wires, wireless whatevers, metals, fabrication facitlites, and even plumbers-carpenters-food growers. All told, perhaps 300 to 600 million parts, things, materials, metals, configurations---no the other sized thing, no we still need the thing made of plastic with platinum lined slots not that slotted stainless steel one, no the thing with slots designed as ICE2879904, not as BCE2879901... The complexity is mindboggling and I suspect this little mental exercise just scratches the surface.

How could I know or guess as to 300 million different things necessary to maintaining this technology? I don't know, but the economy produces I have read about 2 billion different things---just take screws bolts, nuts and washers: How many sizes and kinds are there? Of all kinds for all uses? I know that keeping my two old computers going and two printers (and their ink cartridges) functioning can be time wasting and hard.

The author envisions the pinnacle of highly centralized power to be located in and "run" through international orgs such as the United Nations. Although no one runs it, because AI. But the world's hegemonic arrangements are breaking down and tearing apart. Russia et al have devised a replacement for SWIFT for instance. NATO is slowly breaking apart. Wars are brewing in half a dozen flashpoints around the world and that is where we're headed, into actual real wars in which the many people will get killed, together with vast property and infrastructure destruction. And not just in far away stink holes where insignificant poor people live, struggle and die.

Because power is such a wonderful thing.

Highly centralized systems are highly fragile and we're sailing into highly antifragile circumstances. 'Where's the MBT14274956-H7667 thing?' Asks the AI robot. Other robot. 'They stopped making it after last week's attack, we've been trying to reboot using GDY-972429873-6482, but its not doing well.'

Also, a highly controlled economy--and the idea is Total Control like under Stalin or Pol Pot--is necessarily impoverished. Prices direct production in a free economy and so people and businesses can rationally allocate and 'economize'. Controlled economies rapidly disintegrate into primitive conditions. The primitive cannot produce to sustain a vast capital intensive technical base.

Finally, money is not an invention of government but a product of free enterprise. That is how gold and silver came to be selected in the market place as the most widely acceptable and marketable commodities for use in indirect (non-barter) exchange. It's like the keyboard arrangement of letters and numerals, everyone has the same version and no bureaucracy mandated this. Standards emerge voluntarily and from self interest in exchange. Money is a kind of universal standard. So if life becomes nearly impossible or highly difficult because tyrannical money becomes the Dictator, incentives arise for people to use black market un-official monetary or bartering items for exchange. Win-win.

Thanks, this is another unsolicited essay, sorry for the length.
