Why is it always the absolute worst people who end up running any system that seeks total power? Hayek (GOAT) answered this in a chapter he literally titled “Why the Worst Get on Top”. 1. Dictators need a huge unified following, and simple primitive ideas build it fastest. Independent...

Harris: With so much of the nation’s political and economic power concentrated in the hands of the very few, is it any wonder the people feel this way? Is there any doubt, that such concentration of power is the mark of a corrupted system?

Alex Krainer explains who is at the top of the “globalist network”: These are networks of power that operate outside of the rule of law… like a mafia. In everything I’ve read it always emerges that this name Rothschild comes up as the people who seemingly wield the most power.

This is why absolute power corrupts. The moment Jon Snow told Daenerys the truth that he was the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen everything changed. She realized he had the stronger claim to the Iron Throne. Instead of seeing Jon as family, she saw him as a threat. The throne she had spent her life chasing suddenly felt at risk. It was a reminder that the pursuit of power can make people fear those they once trusted and loved 😍

Steve Jobs: The difference between good people and great people is 50-to-1 “I’ve always considered part of my job was to keep the quality level of people in the organizations I work with very high. I mean that’s what I consider one of the few things I can contribute individually myself — versus the team that work with — is to really try to instill in the organization the goal of having only A players.” Steve argues this is especially important in technology where there’s a huge range between the best person and the worst person: “In a lot of fields, the difference between, say, the worst taxicab driver and the best taxicab driver to get you across town in Manhattan might be 2-to-1. The best one will get you there in 15 minutes, the worst one will get you there in half an hour… Or the best cook and the worst cook, maybe it’s 3-to-1… But in the field that I’m in. In software in particular. The difference between the best person and the worst person is about 100-to-1 or more.” He continues: “The difference between a good software person and a great software person is probably 50-to-1 or 25-to-1. Huge dynamic range. And therefore, I have found — and not just in software but in almost everything I’ve done — it really pays to go after the best people in the world.” But as Steve points out, this isn’t always easy: “It’s very painful when you have some people that are not the best people in the world, and you have to get rid of them. But I’ve found that my job has sometimes been exactly that, to get rid of some of the people that didn’t measure up. And I’ve always tried to do it in a humane way, but nonetheless it has to be done and it’s not ever fun.”

I have spent over two decades in politics, and that brings some experience and understanding. One thing I have noticed, and perhaps you have too, is what happens when someone stays in power for too long. Whether it is a panchayat president, an MLA, a Chief Minister or even a Prime Minister, prolonged power can create deep confusion. In a democracy, leaders come to power because of the people. They understand that power belongs to the people, and they are only entrusted with it. But over time, a dangerous shift can occur. Leaders begin to believe that power does not come from the people, but from themselves. When a leader believes power comes from the people, they remain humble, respectful and see every citizen as a partner, whether a businessman, a fisherman or a worker. However, when they start believing that power comes from them, arrogance sets in. The people around them reinforce this illusion, and gradually, the connection between the leader and the people breaks. The leader stops listening, and the people begin to feel ignored and disconnected. That is what has happened to the Chief Minister of Keralam and the Prime Minister. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍 Alappuzha, Keralam

When breeze blow, VDM yansh open 👐🏾 This guy clearly state that we are worst than the politicians and that’s the reason why he rather support and stand on the mandate of Tinubu than to call for a revolution, because the people according to him doesn’t have the right mindset to govern themselves. This is just shifting blame away from those who actually hold power to blame the people who operate within systems created by the people in power. when those systems are corrupt or broken, society reflects it. That’s not proof that the people are worse; it’s proof that leadership has failed. Saying people can’t do better is also false. History shows that when citizens demand accountability, organize, and push for reform, systems improve. Dismissing them outright is not insight but defeatist thinking. VeryDarkMan is now a tool of excuse for the politicians for their inaction. He avoids responsibility and offers zero solution to the problems it claims to criticize.

Twitch Streamer Asmongold argues the current power dynamic narrative in the Sykkuno allegations. "And also this entire idea of a power dynamic, this is just another way that people are removing accountability from themselves." To which I agree, when people look at allegations, the quick, easy generic argument to make is that there is a power dynamic, while also further diminishing any other argumentation. People in the past few years have made this argument frequently, that it has diminished the true meaning of what is actually a power dynamic.

"We have a supply-demand problem in energy today and we need more supply." Base Power CEO Zach Dell and Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller on why distributed power is the answer — and what's standing in the way: "We can deploy that capacity much faster and much cheaper than you can in a centralized way. You can do it on-site, and so you can circumvent the transmission constraints of the existing grid." "The way that you interconnect and get residential batteries permitted is completely different. Sometimes different not only at the state level, at the city level, at the AHJ level. That makes our job a lot harder." Chase on what it will take to get there: "A lot of people get scared about the amount of power that data centers are going to consume. They have a fixed pie mindset. We have the technology, the know-how, the capital. It's really about having clarity on the permitting process and the will to do so. It can create a really abundant future for everyone."

Martin Shkreli says running a hedge fund is the worst job in finance, that a newsletter doing $50 million of revenue beats almost every fund on the planet, and that people only take the job because it's the "sexiest thing" being master of the universe. "I have a friend who wants to start a hedge fund. I told him, this is the most painful, horrible business in the world. Why do this?" "If you start a newsletter business that makes $100 million a year, even $50 million a year of revenue, you've done better than almost every hedge fund on the planet." "You do not want to do this job." "And the reason people do it, and I did it too, and I would never do it again, is it's the sexiest thing in the world. You think you're the master of the universe..." "It's waking up at 3 a.m. checking Korean stock prices and waking back up at 6 wondering what's happening in the world."

"There are very powerful people, the richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the world, who occupies the White House. They're so powerful. But still, American history is a perpetual testimony to the truth of the power of the people is greater than the people in power if we use that power." 77 million Americans voted for this.

AOC: Mr. Bezos’s newspaper was not happy that I discussed abuses of market power and scale. And I think there are quite a lot of billionaires—I mean, there aren’t a lot of billionaires in an absolute sense, but the proportion of billionaires upset with my comments is quite high. And I think that, to a working person and to working people, “earn” means something: the calluses on your hands, the aches in your joints, the way that we earn our way through school, through our first job. And I think that we are in an emperor-with-no-clothes moment when it comes to the American economy and our democracy. The Virginia redistricting maps were just overturned this morning by judges that are largely financed by a movement of billionaires. And American inequality is at an absolute peak. We have to ask ourselves if this is how we want to live as a society—if we want 3,400 people to be prioritized over well more than 300 million. And when we question the legitimacy of that power structure, the people at the top are going to be very mad. And the little hobby newspapers that they’ve bought—which they love to say are making the quality of everything better. Jeff Bezos purchased the The Washington Post. He laid off some of the highly qualified journalists that made it an American institution so that he could turn it into a mouthpiece that launders his personal agenda and opinions. And he is using it because, for a lot of folks, it’s not enough to be powerful—they have to be loved. And he then uses this mouthpiece to take aim at politicians who want to question the deeply unequal and unjust distribution of power in America. They want to continue to undercut, threaten, and punish those who say: democracy belongs at the ballot box—economic power, political power—and that power should belong to the people of this country, not the very few.
