Right now,
the American congress has semi regular conference calls with heads of tech
companies. These calls relate to censorship and “unfair” applications of rules
that these tech companies are involved in. The funny thing about this is that
congress is fairly powerless against the tech companies although they have a
higher “legal standing” than the tech companies.
The people
who have built tech companies are smart, hard-working, and competent people. Of
course, their goals and methods of operation are not completely moral or for
the general public’s good, but that does not mean that these people are losers.
They are just not aligned with the common man or even the country in which they
operate. The people in congress are whores, they are old politicians who got
elected by lying and sucking off people who held the keys to the halls of power
they wanted access to.
Every
congress and tech company call goes the same way, some old congressional whore
(male or female doesn’t matter) makes an embarrassing monologue disguised as a
question and tries to shame the tech CEO. The tech CEO puts up with the display
and gives some non-answer that doesn’t really mean anything while pretending to
be respectful. Nothing changes, no policies are adjusted at the tech company,
and nobody gets anything out of the exchange except for the politician feeling
some semblance of power.
A new age
is dawning. The psychic economy is more powerful than the physical economy,
which can be seen in how the stock market has been increasingly dominated by
digital companies as physical companies shrink in proportion. The old guard,
the useless whores that make up governments and prostitute themselves and
destroy their dignity for titles and a pension are now only in charge
symbolically. Power is molting, the physical force that nation states have is
ineffective in controlling capital, as capital has been abstracted and
digitized, not corralled any longer by border guards or physical impediments
like geography.
Because
people in the government are generally incompetent, stupid, and lazy
prostitutes, people in government do not know what is happening right in front
of their eyes: which is that they are being stripped of their power and their
titles are becoming insults rather than awards to be proud of. There is
reputational lag that exists, but with every year that passes it becomes
increasingly clear that those who seek to be managerial or involved in the
government are people who should be looked down on and mocked rather than
looked up to or respected.
Tech
companies are the new world government with the real power. They are the ones
who organize and control the distribution of value and information. The old
government, the congress and senate, the governors, the police, the social
workers, these are people with power only over those who are stupid and
worthless. The old government is allowed to operate not because it is too
powerful to stop, but because the new government doesn’t want to stop the old
government or take on the old government’s responsibilities. The old government
is filled with suckers and morons, worthless fools with worthless titles. The
new government gets all the money, power, and access without having to deal
with the rabble or the hassle of elections. The old government gets three hour
long video calls every few months where they can play the role of hectoring
powerless wife asking her husband to stop cheating on her.
