I am a Rent Seeker

Allow me to make myself abundantly clear.

I'm a rent seeker. I confess to this openly and freely. I do not deny it in any way. I will not make excuses for it. Being a rent seeker is how I intend to proceed. I am a rent seeker.

Have I made myself clear? 

I am a rent seeker. Plain and simple. Loud and clear.

Is rent seeking a good or bad thing. Is it right or wrong. Must something be done about it or should it be promoted as a virtue?

I cannot say because I do not know it all. 

I do know very well that rent seeking certainly is root cause of poverty, unemployment, great recessions and its ultimate effect of war and conquest. But does this mean the alternative is a better one?

I do not know. Because it's abolition and the adoption of the alternative has never been tried system wide for any great period of time.

The only other thing about it I do know is that the more rent I can appropriate the safer my household, family and direct descendants become. All I do know is that rent is the only way to secure the future of my household. My personal economy is continuously challenged by the state, so as parent of the household its protection is all. 

I am a rent seeker. And that is how I shall proceed.

Have I made myself clear? If not by all means contact me directly, make your objections and ask for clarification.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...
