Centralization of wealth in the hands of speculators* has consequences.
* The word “speculator” has a negative connotation that is only partially deserved. Markets are valuable not just for immediate “price discovery” but also forecasting prices. Forecasts capitalize development of underdeveloped resources. “speculation” achieves its infamy when “speculators” operate in an anti-human property rights infrastructure that is paid for in the “coin” of flesh-blood-and-bone of the young men who stand between chaos and civilization, including the loss of their total fertility rates as “the economy” outbids them for the fertile years of young women.
When this anti-human infrastructure fails to replace humans with robots fast enough, it collapses under its own weight.
This is at the root of Musk’s conjunction of TFR complaint and robot manufacturing. Until Musk advocates something like militia money to distinguish between himself and Bezos regarding centralization of wealth, he must be considered acting on behalf of those for whom he said, on Christmas Day 2024, he would go to war, rather than for his stated purpose of saving civilization from collapse.
And – yes I know that there is this idea going around elite circles that it is not anti-human to wipe out those upon whose bloodlines property rights infrastructure was built so long as you preserve those who were not so “foolish” as to lay down their bloodlines for speculators.
