"while leaving the upper elites ($100B+) untouched"

I mean, if that is your definition of upper elites, how many people even is that? 12? 25? And your definition of "upper-middle and upper class wealth ($2M–$1B+ net worth)" is too wide IMO.

TBH, maybe it depends on where you live, but $2m or $3m net worth can be a pretty great and free life.

I appreciate you mentioning EROEI in your piece. IMO everything stems from that because declining EROEI per capita is what drives the increase in debt. If energy growth per capita continued growing, we wouldn't have any of the issues we have. Arguably, we wouldn't even have the level of automation in technology that we have (which came about in part because of a need to drive returns in a world where EROEI was not increasing as fast as historically.)

Will read the whole post. Thanks.

It's a small number of central bank owning families and top allies who are not subject to the snatch and grab theft that lower layers of the wealthy are subject to - the exact number is hard to determine. Basically anyone with great wealth whose wealth is either structural to the system (international finance elites) or liquid enough to transfer (hence the Google owners example), which excludes those with substantial real estate holdings and hard assets who are already being targeted. I link it in the post but escape key describes the structural wealth of the Rothschild family which isn't seizable without targeting that layer specifically: https://escapekey.substack.com/p/the-rothschild-nexus

"And your definition of "upper-middle and upper class wealth ($2M–$1B+ net worth)" is too wide IMO."

Yes, it is very wide and perhaps overbroad, but it's intended to demarcate the range of asset holders who are not necessarily shielded and protected by upper layer power. The California "billionaire tax" pushed by DSA types is proof that those below a certain level are being targeted even if wealthy.

If Republicans are smart, they should just get Kaiser to expand their HMOs into a national public healthcare.

As for cheaper housing, problem is broke overeducated people concentrating themselves in NYC/Seattle/SF/Boston/LA/DC but they are good at driving the narrative. But those areas are all controlled by Dems, but as you know, Dems never like to actually fix their problems.

What is sick, and what I think Consuela gets at in general across his writing, is that this is known by The Powers That Be who then use the endless agitation to control the population.

Even talking about some HMO idea is just feeding into it. The best thing a person can do, in my view, is to do whatever they can to walk away from the whole situation. (TT vindicated yet again!!)

unfortunately the masses just want to be told what to do by somebody, anybody, because the horrors of the Void are too difficult (and energetically expensive) for most people to hold by themselves

i agree with you that retreating from the noetic commons and Current Thing is good overall, but even doing so is no panacea: we are all still subject to massive inflation and the societal degredation caused by elite policies (poisoning of food, water, air, mass immigration etc)

To some extent, we all should be doing a version of John Michael Greer's "collapse now and avoid the rush." In whatever form that works for each one of us and our families.

the challenge is how to increasingly bear the crucifixion of opposites internally without relying on institutional authority or collapsing

And at some point, you don't really *need* more stuff. Many people overextend themselves or become house poor because they assume they'll always be making $500k a year to cover a $7,000 a month mortgage...but that feels like a death trap that can actually be avoided with some effort and decent decision making.

I think I mostly agree with what you've written, though I think you give too much credit to TPTB in terms of their "world creation" abilities. Maybe I'm misreading you in that regard, but I think they are mostly just reacting to incentives of their own and are reacting to the same issues that are driving the mass unrest.

I also don't think you'd need to dismantle fractional reserve banking to undo the mess the elites' manage, rather we just need to allow for an actual correction. Obviously it would be extremely painful ("for you"), but it would more appropriately re-sort capital while maintaining some semblence of The System.

But maybe I'm just a fag who is trying to escape the whole mess.

The void is the horror that no one knows what happens after death , if anything. At most one has is hope, and hope is far less emotionally satisfying than knowing

Also - you familiar with Ryan Faulk? He used to make vids as The Alternative Hypothesis. He started writing recently about consciousness and has a fairly novel idea on it IMO (that the electromagnetic field interacting with matter is the substrate of consciousness, in a nutshell.)

You still need to watch Evangelion. It's basically what you describe but with robots (and is genuine fun.)

re: consciousness, i recently ordered this regarding predictive processing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0190933216

i'll give evangelion another chance, i guess. the first episode was OK but i'm not big into anime and the giant robots fighting trope is really tired
