Centuries ago, in feudalism, people were aware of the realities of their position. Peasants knew their role, rights and obligations. They also knew who their ruler was. This was largely because there was no option to ascend to a higher class. Hence, the clear rules.
It’s a bit different now. Peasants do exist nowadays, but they remain in denial of their situation.
Do we have ultimate rulers like medieval kings and queens? Yes, that would be those who can print money out of thin air without getting in trouble for doing so. Just like those kings who once had the right to mint coins.
It’s not that the ultimate rulers of today desire our energy in the literal sense. However, their rule through the fiat money system is predicated on the existence of the real economy. This is one of the major reasons why they convince peasants, through propaganda, to be in denial of who they really are. They do that through conventional wisdom – the rules designed to prevent the masses from becoming rulers in their own right.
The reason why many people think they have no choice is the fact that they are in denial of being peasants. Awareness of your real position is necessary for the awareness of choice.
If you want to become one of those rulers, you need to reject these commands and acknowledge that:
1. The game is rigged in favor of the elites.
2. Meritocracy is a lie to make you a resource for building someone else’s castle.
3. Saving money and working for somebody does not make one rich. Ownership does.
4. The situation you’re in is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself for not becoming rich according to conventional wisdom. That was never supposed to happen.
All you need to do is start playing a different game called multiplication:
1. Prioritize ownership and control
2. Use leverage
3. Use good debt (to acquire assets)
