I don’t know what everyone means when they use ‘rule’ in the title and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. Please enlighten me.

    I just finished that video and I think I have to watch it a few more times.

    It’s correct and outlines, in detail, why things are so bad and why people suck so much in positions of power. The people are the problem. They’re always the problem.

    The rewards go to those who can control the most. Money is power, and conversely, power results in money. It’s an endless cycle.

    I will postulate that this is the enshittification of society. At present, it seems like the balance is shifting, decades of stagnant wages with nearly unrestricted inflation is starving the population in both the US and Canada; maybe other places too, I’m not sure. Late stage democracy is driving the middle class to the lower class and the lower class to homelessness. The keys are losing the loyalty of their underlings. IMO, they know it. They’re pushing the matter to gather as much as they can, while they can, so that they can hold onto as much money and therefore power, as they can, so when society is rebuilt after a coup, they have a better chance of being a key in the resulting system. A few keys will fall, because they have to, and they’re all hoping it will be someone else.

    That’s such a great video.

    There’s so much more to say, and discuss but my brain is tired and I cannot proceed. A lot of good points were made here and I’m sure I’ll be reflecting on this soon enough.
