Tribes require obedience to a hierarchy of power or a power structure where social organisation and all its institution's and corporation's primary function is to signal obedience to the tribal hierarchy as a first duty  - see my posts on obedience . There are always only ever two tribes fighting for the top spoils.  The winner in that time and place is what we euphemistically call the government or the state. the way in which the winning tribe wins, is by what is also euphemistically called 'a democratic election', to make it sound normal and fair. But in the end a democratic election is not a way to share fairness at all. It is to signal obedience to the winning hierarchy. If your tribe wins, then bingo! If not you and your friends and family are in trouble.  This is why the vote should only really be given to people who can show clearly they know what they are voting for. The alternative is to wreak havoc.  Underneath the current top two trines are a myriad of low...

Yes, AI is a classic labour saving invention...*when* it does actually save labour.  Sometimes it's use might cost more labour in which case it is not labour saving. I think on the whole and all else being equal, AI *is* labour saving. Why is this a good thing in the final analysis?  Because like all LSI's in the past it will boost the production of wealth - more output of wealth will be produced per unit hour of labour and capital input. A great thing.  What is greater still is given this will increase the demand for the locations in which this new wealth can be produced, real estate will also boom to that extent, perhaps a bit more due to the expectation of even higher future land prices(speculation). We've been forecasting a Great Recession for 20 years. One is due within the next 12 months. Yield curve is signalling. Rates are signalling. Mortgage repos versus approvals are signalling. Timing is about right.  One thing the states of the world will be desperate fo...

The following dialogue shows how control of the people at scale is still done roughly the same way. But has become decentralised in such a way that its hard to detect and feels like entertainment. QUESTION : T ell me about the following: TikTok propaganda, neural data harvesting, AI-generated leaders—showing how the mechanisms have mutated, not vanished? The old tools of influence and control did not disappear. They adapted. Classic propaganda (state newspapers, radio broadcasts, posters, and human agents) relied on mass messaging and relatively crude data collection. Today those functions have mutated into platform algorithms, intimate neural signals, and synthetic personas—more scalable, personalized, harder to attribute, and embedded in everyday consumer technology. TikTok as algorithmic propaganda infrastructure TikTok (and its Chinese counterpart Douyin) illustrates the shift from top-down state media to “decentralized” and algorithmically optimized influence. Multiple studies ...

Heads up: Abolish all property taxes Act on open borders Imagine if the new so called PM acts significantly enough on open borders, but not enough to do anything useful?  That will be a winning play in the next election.  This is the same strategy as Restore Britain are presently using but they do not have the level of power the PM already has.  So Restore Britains' strategy is not useful to them in its current form.  If RB want to win, they need to be far more radical and start to walk their talk..

I'm afraid it will happen. Like 2007. House prices have already peaked. Great recession probably by next year to make the 'correction'.  Once the rental value of land and directly related selling prices outpace the ability of the economy to pay them, recession will happen. No one will see it coming because they treat land as capital in academic economic thought. It's the same as treating people as slaves to be sold like other commodities. Slavery never ended. So system wide recession is inevitable and was priced in 20 years ago. There's nothing you can do about it to stop it now. I don't want it to happen. There's a well understood remedy which would make it impossible that is not harmful or difficult to adopt technically. But spiritually humans do not yet have the capacity to take it on. So be it. Recovery will happen within a few years and social organisation will commence the next identical cycle with earnest. People having quickly forgotten cause and eff...
