The argument:

Rich people control the world.

Rich people own the media.

Rich people run boards.

Rich people built up cults of personality. Influencers to lend credibility for their long terms plans.

Rich people then pick a rich friend or ‘make’ a new friend, and then promote their friend.

Rich people’s friends typically after their role is done are found to be sociopaths and liars and frauds.

But this is OK because remember Rich people control the media.

Not rich people are going to be living in the shit society that Rich people are planning for not rich people. AI is to play big role.

Now, ask any further question, we all know you are smart so this confusion of yours is due to your world model.

Let’s discuss your world model.




The upper middle class controls the world.

Control of boards doesn't matter.

Rich people don't control the media, because the upper middle class won't let them.

Sam Altman does not secretly control the world; see above.


I never said Sam did. Sam’s just a made man.

Interested in this theory of middle class controlling the world. My personal yardstick is: “whose interests are most served by the system?”

For example, “middle class” doesn’t want wars, revolution, things shaking up. Which is why comrades hate them. Upper classes despise them and lower classes want to kill them. :) So seriously, is it the “middle class controlling the world” that has cash fire hoses gushing dollars “abroad” while “middle class” struggles to hold on to its shrinking perch?

Do enlighten me brother.
