I truly don’t believe it is normal for any human to possess vast amounts of power alongside wealth. The disconnect seems to always lead to a void that can never be filled. The distractions are absolutely endless and a vast majority of the powerful & elite live in that zone of constant travel, parties, events, ego stroking, and more to distract themselves from the “void.”
Many of us regular people do too. But where we are limited is in our scope and reach. That’s why seeing what these Elites do might be shocking but it might reveal a bigger issue in our society that is always pushing for more. It reveals that the game we set up is a mirage and the ones at the top are playing an entirely different game where we are their pawns.
Think about it. If you’re someone who’s getting their ass kissed a lot, going to events where you get your ass kissed, have people throw themselves at you, have access to endless pleasures and toys of this world, you will eventually become unrecognizable. We’ve seen this at a lower level with many celebs since they’re the chess piece used to distract most of us. The way many of them change during their careers, the struggles, the abuse. And they don’t even have access to any power comparable to those at the top.
Now, the levels far above this is a game we can never fathom. It’s a dark dark game and those playing in it are essentially already dead. This has been happening across all of human history but the scary part now is the level of influence available to these powers on a global level. The reach. They want to play God and the last hit of dopamine remaining for them is “total power.”
I think this is why AI is so dangerous. Entire systems now run on protecting the interests of the rich and powerful. The police, the military, the state/government. What keeps order in some sense and what stops total corruption beyond what we have now is that the biggest weakness for these elites is that they have to rely on other humans regardless. And this always leaves room for emotions and empathy among people they want to crush.
Despite what most of us think, majority of people truly are not as evil as we think. I’ve traveled a lot and I’ve seen more similarities across us than differences. Many of us can still empathize at a basic human level even if it’s very faded nowadays.
That is a weakness if you’re an elite & powerful person. You came to be from crushing opponents along the way, seizing control of industries, bribing legislators to slow down or crush competition, and essentially breaking and rewriting rules.
To them, empathy is weakness unless used as a weapon for more. But what if you had access to weaponry, machines, technology that does not have compassion. That does not have empathy. It only knows whatever data has been fed to it and the safety features given are decided upon by few people.
Imagine the power you could have once that technology advanced. The way you could control humanity. Now… that’s a high that I know some sickos out there foam at the mouth thinking about.
It’s why it’s so sad majority of us are so distracted fighting these little battles. Divided so much. We are already letting bots and designed echo chambers separate us in very extreme ways. I can only imagine if it becomes much worse.
I truly believe the only way we can face these people is to… (I’ll let you fill the blank).
