RE: Shower Thought:

like the way a cheetah goes about hunting its prey, it's interesting and elaborate and magical.

exactly.

So I don't even see it as conspiracy.

Again, true.

but the question is CAN they keep it like this forever?

Right. And obviously nothing lasts forever, so inevitably they're going to have to let up sometimes; but I'm thinkng it's going to be a very long time indeed.

As resources keep getting cheaper and more abundant, there's less to fight over and less people who feel dependent on the current systems.

but are they really? I feel like its one of their most fundamental strategy to make sure this never really happens.

Sort:  

but are they really? I feel like its one of their most fundamental strategy to make sure this never really happens.

probably, but it's like a rising tide.. like playing wack-a-mole but it keeps getting faster and faster.

like first we have an axel and a pulley and a wheel and the basic gadgets, and as technology gets better (plus we get more civilized and smarter), things keep getting cheaper and more abundant. The natural growth pattern, I think, is like exponential growth. Countering that, they interfere in the economy to slow things down, and thru taxes and inflation and rules that favor large corporations and people who are close to power, they can consolidate as much as they can into as few hands as possible.

but I think it becomes an increasingly difficult game as time passes and technology keeps growing and we get better and better at making resources more cheaply.. eventually kinda close to free when you think of 3D printing and AI that could basically manage a garden for you and drones that would be able to deliver things at little cost.. like it keeps being harder and harder to hold the average person back

I think it's like.. the decentralized force is too strong lol.

they could do a lot of damage, but if it's nukes or something, then they might die too, and having a world of ruin to rule over isn't that appealing. And if it's smaller amount of damage, we keep going and repair. 😎🧐
