Something Smart People Might Know?

There are smart people in every “caste” of life. I use that term because it applies not only in application, but also by understanding of the bell curve applying to every criteria that could be reflected by any understanding of human individual reactions and behaviors.

Smart people of all castes eventually understand that those with cumulative money will decide the steps of mankind as it seeks to survive, perhaps while they thrive at some level. The top is probably correctly labeled as the 99^th percentile, but those that thrive may ago as deep as the 85^th percentile, depending on what values are measure for the thriving.

Working down to something like the 30^th percentile are those who may not thrive, but survive, at different levels of satisfaction. Below that is those that barely survive, sometimes by any means available, and those that don’t. The non-survival may well be measured in the brain, including comprehensive understanding and psychological adaptation. Even the smart ones “down there” may not be able to, or even elect to, quit that station of “caste” if they are even viably presented with that choice.

Smart people realize that the money people will make choices for themselves, but the smartest of those will make choices that keep the middle 60% or so “in the game” to a great degree since that allows the Long Term Really Wealthy (“LTRW” my new term) their status in the long run. The thriving level will always stay in the game unless the top level is somehow flipped, say by something like the destruction of the existing way of life by outside (meteor or star interference) or inside (nuclear or cyber) influence.

Here’s the exponential change we are seeing now, which began in the 70s, when coding on tape, not cards, became more available to smart “Nerds” (a human aspect also measured by percentile, as is every variable aspect). The nearly level development of the “Money” of humankind has rested with physical presence, from individuals 5,000 years ago, to armies at local level, on to national level, and formation of unions of like minded nations.

That type of battle is actually taking place now and if the planet survives that, there may be a realization that the step of overwhelming might would not provide any long term well being for those who make that choice. If so, that realization would continue the upward acceleration that the Nerds would make the choices going forward, because the money people would see the value of the change.

Do I have to point out who are the acknowledged richest in the world? It is now largely the Nerds that are dwelling in that room. Well, the Nerds are recognized at that level because their wealth is largely known, exposed in the process of their earning of that level. Here is the thing with the LTRW: they acquired their money during a time in which the earning process was not subject to external measurement (in a tax and regulatory sense). As such their true wealth is not “known” to anyone, maybe not even to them in any finite way. Their interests, though, are maintained by how they “move” their money. Ever wonder why every big nation has a bank or two who make monetary decisions? They are now the ones who govern the “RISK’’ game as applied.

Wonder how it will move forward now?

Well, it just came out.
