Americans need to reconsider what a “managed economy” means. Ok sure a government supervisor isn’t literally dictating what the assembly line produces and how many. But this story is just one of dozens a day that are all about managing information, acting as a forcing function, to get back to business as usual. Pay no mind the body political and it’s monopoly on violence! “Simply generate wealth! Nevermind as we hand out trillions for free! You have to BUY IN! Not these guys, they can get hand outs and tax breaks! Buy in!” Which is it? Socialism or capitalism? Believing there’s ever been anything but a managed effort is nonsense. There is no magic or gods. It’s people validating their identity and having it go unchallenged. Inflation is deflation for the masses. The rich get more handouts when their assets droop. Peter Thiel recently wrote about how in the history of man there’s always been elites managing the plebs. It’s how it works! They’re managing what we believe is correct. It’s a biologically simple trick that’s been used intuitively with great success since the first tribal kings. Here’s the modern version: we control what raw data you see so we can equivocate. It limits real choices and experiences. And it happens constantly while the masses look away at their repetitive jobs.
