This also holds for the fiat monetary system; a metric by which all economic value is measured. It has been manipulated in completely unjust ways to serve the interests of capital holders (and corporations) and that corruption is hidden behind mind-numbing complexity.
Having worked both inside and outside of the finance sector. I sensed that as I got closer to the money printers in my career, people's logic seemed to break down and they seemed to understand less and less what's going on. You start to meet people with unbelievably huge blind-spots. It's weird. It's as if people were selected for these roles based on their tunnel vision and unwavering faith in authority.
