- Remain obedient to the narrative and you will be rewarded.
- While not being obedient to it will see them send you into exile.
Do you want to win or do you want to lose?
I don't mean that you must obey the narrative per se, to win. I mean do you want to win or do you want to lose?
If you want to win, you must appear to be following the narrative and supporting it. If you want to lose you must visibly oppose the tribe and its narrative and they will send you into exile as punishment, to lose.
If you insist on moralising and using your intellect and reading books, you will lose. That, is not obedience to the tribe. Is that the approach of a wise man?
Being wise does not mean obedience. It means observing what is happening and not allowing ones worldview( your Master) to lead ones thought.
A wise man will be obedient to the narrative nominally but will not be obedient to everything about it in what he does. This is okay because the tribe only looks out for or sees what is said not what is done.
This is so obvious among the competing Bitcoin tribes. It means there's absolutely no risk to doing whatever you want to do or need to do to get your job done. Which I believe you can do very well. There's no need even for patent protectionism. It's all safe. They don't care what or how you do it. They care how you say it.
There's no risk that they will send you into exile for what you do. There's no risk they will steal your ideas. None. So just do it, without telling them you oppose their tribe. That is all they care about and act upon. Do not waste time and money on patents. In the end state actors will just take it from you anyway if they see it has merit.(The SBR and rescuing the dollar)
And there is every risk if you are talking and saying what is right and wrong about it, if, it runs counter to their tribes narrative. Then they will crush you by all means. Look at how Trump is dealing with his own tribal wars. Not altogether perfectly. But his narrative is presently stronger so is still winning. And look at the fallout from it - huge excess deaths not by Trump, but by tribal obedience all round.
The narrative - what people say, is everything to people. What one actually does means very little to people. There is no risk of losing anything from what you actually do? Whereas there's every risk from what you say.
This is the power of narrative. Narrative, is power. Held by the people it protects. It's no use blaming leaders and the wealthy or the present winners - it's the people who respond to the narrative. Winning is conferred onto the winners by the people being protected by that narrative. If you're a loser it simply means the people are conferring nothing onto you.
We can see perfect exposition in the UK's Green party right now as they're buying up votes by the million by speaking with promises about lucrative welfare packages and speaking nicely about the poor. Yet they are obviously crazy and are clearly exploiting the immigrants brutally to buy their votes. But at least they understand the power of the narrative and are winning by that means. While Restore Britain is getting a paltry number of votes with 'sensible' policy about what they will do, they have nothing much to say to the people which stimulates their narrative as powerfully as the greens. Sick and demented as this all is, it works! And they are winning because they understand how it works and the eventual losers do not understand this.
What is said is what matters not what is done. People obey power based on what is said not what is done. People obey their own tribe's narrative first and foremost. What is done is not relevant to people. Power is relevant to people. People are power. The narrative is power.
I do not agree with this. I'm simply observing it happening in front of my face. I want you and Bitcoin to win. But you are losing because you are not on the winning side of the narrative. This can change immediately if you so choose. And you and Bitcoin then have a strong chance of winning.
Do you understand?
