If everybody's feeling insecure, everybody realizes, oh, I need to get these resources for themselves.

They go into a loss aversion mode.

Their morality completely remaps.

People suddenly feel that is perfectly justified to march on another country, shoot you in the face and take your shit.

And.

this is where trying to get people to understand they're having a biological experience so that they will look back on human history and go oh what do humans act like in moments like this because they want to believe that they sit outside of that historical truth and they don't and once you start looking at history as merely a recitation of what humans act like in certain circumstances and that it's predicting your future then suddenly history becomes a far more terrifying

B, you realize that the patterns really are looping and C, that they're pointing to what's going to happen to all of us now.

And so when I look at, okay, how's AI gonna disrupt us?

What's it gonna look like when people start losing their jobs?

Why are all these conflicts popping off everywhere right now?

You can really start to trace this back to economic insecurity.

Now, as I wrote the latest deep dive, one thing that I realized is people just don't understand that we're all an economic unit.

And we tell ourselves a far more beautiful story that we are spiritual units.

If I had to round it to probably what is the algorithm that plays in people's minds,

But the truth of how you move through the world is everything is predicated on specialization.

So you make music.

I don't because I'm not good at it.

You are.

And so we have built modern society to make sure that we don't starve to death, make sure that we don't have to worry about roving marauders coming into society.

rape our women quite literally, steal our assets, kill us.
