“Jesus told the crowd a parable. ‘There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.’ ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods.’” “But God said to him, ‘You fool.” Jesus asks us to ponder the workings of rich men who hoard their treasures for themselves.
Jesus’ witness of love has a personal and social expression. Personally, in love, we share who we are and what we have, especially with people who are made poor. People are made poor not by a less than bountiful harvest. Rather, people are made poor by fool capitalists, aka slave masters, who use poor people to gain a bountiful harvest and then hoard their plunder. Socially, in love, we share in the co-creation of an economic community. Eco means home. Economics means care of home – care of our common home the earth, and care of all the people with whom we share this common home. Creating a common home is not the witness of the Gospel fool, nor the capitalist Tech Bro fools. Dominant among the Tech Bro fools are: Balaji Srinivasan of venture capitalism, Curtis Yarvin/Mencius Moldbug of Urbit, Larry Ellison of Oracle, Elon Musk of Space X, Mark Andreesen of multiple software and venture capitalist schemes, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Sam Altman of Open AI, and Peter Theil of Palantir and his handpicked Vice-President J.D. Vance. These fools are undermining the co-creation of our common home with a shared harvest, in favor of a Network State that hoards capitalist plunder. The following steps are pulled from Srinivasan’s book. 1) Begin by founding a startup society of like-minded entrepreneurial autocrats in the Metaverse that matches the physical islands the Tech Bros are buying up. 2) Organize the Network State into a group capable of collective action working for a common cause – the end of democracy. 3) Build trust offline and a cryptofinance system online. It includes using bankrupt king Trump to bankrupt the U.S. Government through assaulting the dollar, implementing tariffs – irregularly so, gutting people’s government services (Education, EPA, FAA, FEMA, Medicaid, NOAA, Social Security, VA,…), increasing the national debt, and seizing the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Reserve. The new slave master class plans to institute cryptocurrency to replace the dollar as the old slave master class instituted the dollar to replace the British Pound Sterling. 4) Crowdfund physical nodes/satellites, financing digital citizens in apartments, houses, and towns as physical real estate citizens. 5) Digitally connect the physical groups in a mixed reality to seamlessly link the online and offline worlds. 6) Conduct an on-chain census using an auditable census to demonstrate the growing size of your population, income, and real-estate footprint. 7) Gain diplomatic recognition with pre-existing governments and gradually increase sovereignty as a network state. Tech Bros like to believe they are innovators, but their Network State is just another gated neighborhood in which rich folks store their treasures.
“The stage was well set though actually it presented itself as rather empty… himself at the very manifest epicentre … unilateral megalomania mirror mirror on the wall am I not the best screwball of them all, where is the podium, what is my prize accolade.” (The Prismatic Self – Kai Michael Neumann)
Prayer: Beautiful Spirit, inspire us for a common life in which we share a bountiful harvest.
Question: How can I be more generous?
