In this episode, I examine why so-called “establishment-friendly experts” — government advisors, media commentators, consultants, and influencers — tend to survive, succeed, and accumulate wealth in the 21st century. Rather than attacking individuals, this talk analyzes the structural reasons behind their stability. These figures rarely lie outright; instead, they selectively frame problems in ways that protect organizations, sponsors, and existing power structures. This approach minimizes risk, avoids enemies, and leads to long-term financial rewards. By contrast, those who question structures and assign responsibility often remain economically disadvantaged. This episode explores that trade-off and asks listeners to consciously choose where they stand — not morally, but structurally.
