Who made those rules, people thatyou can't question. Okay, So is
it illogical to look at the worldfrom a very simple rubric, And that
(00:20):
simple rubric is that there are asmall group of people in power who want
to rule the world. Now,another way of looking at that is,
there are a small group of peoplein power who want to own everything.
(00:45):
This small change in semantics tells youthe means in which this can be achieved.
It actually reveals the means and thehow a small group of individuals in
power want to own everything. Andso if you think about it that way,
(01:10):
the best way to rule the worldis to own everything. Then you
make decisions that allow you to buyup acquire things in the world. And
so wars are great for business.Everything's fractured, you start gobbling up stuff,
(01:34):
resources, people, right. Warsare amazing. Having infighting in countries
red versus blue, right, it'seasier to start gobbling up small partitions of
the red, small partitions of theblue. And I think many of us
can agree. In many cases it'sno longer that they've bought up partitions of
(02:01):
these these foes. But some Ithink we can all agree with. Some
of them are fully compromised. Andso this led me to thinking this very
simple rubric, This very simple modelled me to thinking, if a small
group of people in power want torule the world, and the best way
(02:23):
to rule the world is own everything, then by fracturing the world, by
fracturing things as much as possible,creating chaos, creating division, creating friction,
creating tension, creating groups, groupthinkright, creating you know, categories
of people like all of this servesyour purpose and for those in positions lower
(02:50):
levels, positions of power, youwould only ever allow individuals to be in
lower levels of power if they werefully compromised. Is my logic illogical?
(03:13):
I don't think so. I thinkthe world is waking up to this fact,
to this idea. And frankly,I had a conversation with a gentleman
last week which actually added maybe maybemaybe even sparked the reason why this weekend
I've considered this After a long raceweekend. Oh man, what a great
(03:36):
weekend, even though we didn't place. We didn't we finished it last on
the because we got hit. Butyou guys have seen the video on X
so you already know about this.But I had a conversation with the Gentleman
last week that he was just hewas just so raw, he was so
raw. Man. He's an eccentric, dude entrepreneur, successful made money in
(04:00):
the AOL days. So that willgive you enough context about his technological prowess
and his timing in the market andage to wisdom. He said point blank
to me as I was talking withthem, he said, you have to
understand, Peter, there's a smallset of people, he said, less
than one hundred people that and familiesthat run the world. And she's like,
(04:27):
I've seen I've rubbed shoulders with them, and that's all I said.
But he said it so matter offactly and so frankly and so candidly that
I was like, well, I'veheard this before, and it makes a
lot of sense. As power congealsand and kind of amasses itself in every
industry, you should know this,right, you should you should know this.
(04:47):
In every industry, it all amalgamatesto basically what six to eight major
players, Right, you think aboutour food supply, there's like for six
major players, you think about technology, for six major players, you think
about you know, it's the samein every industry entertainment, right, news.
(05:13):
The list goes on and on.So everything's controlled by about, let's
just say, less than twenty entities. Look at every industry in the world,
less than twenty I'm being overly generous, less than ten. About ten
companies run everything in each market segment, in each industry, And so if
you think about that, an abstractionof that would be well, then it's
(05:34):
people who run these things, andthe people who run these things have been
in power for a long time.This just makes a lot of sense,
and one would think that success isnot kepped, meaning would it be possible?
Can it be possible for individuals tobe so successful that they take over
(05:54):
entire industries and massive amounts of wealth? I think the easiest one for us
to point out right now, whois a small fry still is Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is a small fry.Has he acquired in a mass for
himself, huge corporations, huge entities, hundreds of thousands of people working for
this one guy. Yes, he'samazing. Elon Musk is not like the
(06:19):
dynasties that have survived, right,those dynasties that have gone on for generations
and generations, generations amassing more andmore and more, And could these generations
over time a mass so much thatthey basically are the overlords of pretty much
everything. I think it is morethan rational. I think in the entire
(06:44):
spectrum of possibilities that this is certainlytrue. So, let's say one hundred
and fifty major families and individuals runthe world fair peace, okay. And
so the conversation, you know,the context as to why he would say
that in a conversation this is onlythe second time I've met him, is
(07:05):
because we were talking about finances.I'm talking about how to play the game
of finances and making money within theconstraints of the game, and how to
be successful and understanding the entire spectrumand scope of what you're dealing with,
and why, in the specific contextof our conversation, why you don't want
(07:26):
to piss these individuals off. Youwant to be successful within the rules of
the game. Who made those rules? People that you can't question, Okay,
So laying that on the table,how can we be extraordinarily successful within
the rules of the game set byothers? And so I appreciated his candor
(07:49):
on that. And so is itillogical for me to use a very simple
rubric, which is there's a smallgroup of people in power who print money,
who want to rule the world,control the world, and one of
the best ways to control the worldown everything. What's one of the best
(08:11):
ways to start gobbling up and owningeverything fracturing everything? Some thoughts to day
on this weekend
