Some elite people are very benevolent & generous & really are trying to help make life better for everyone in ways that governments cannot, due to corruption in political processes that are a form if deleterious decay internally in most world government to varying extents. Everyone is thankfully slightly different, ideologically, but we can teach anyone to care about other people more!
Easy to criticize the opulent minority, like the 1/10 of 1% of income earners in the United States, ie Billionaires, especially those who engage in lobbying to affect law making & tax code for their benefit in order to shoulder the tax burden onto the lower class of poor work & marginalized middle income & upper middle & upper class people who are unable to generate 0% tax write offs by utilizing tricks in the IRS tax code that were designed to concentrate wealth into the ownership class, people who own millions of shares of different dividend income payout stocks that pay a quarterly dividend. This passive income how some people are able to make millions of USD per day income, as no one person can produce that kind of work output.
Think of Jeff B. of Amazon.com, he started out as a normal working class person & then used e-commerce to expand his brick & mortar book store into a website that could sell even more books, or anything for that matter. He then struck a deal with "elites" with deep pockets "private capital investment groups" who then were willing to invest a long play to run Amazon.com at loss leader prices to bankrupt competitors in retail so that Amazon could capture the sales.
Develop a PRIME paid membership program, like Costco, give free faster shipping & good customer service & video & music streaming bundled & conglomerate to become a content producer & distributed too, sell pharamceuticals, operate software as a service & cloud storage services & cloud computer & AI tools as a subscription service to other people & businesses. A series of brilliant business decisions.
Technically on this account, Jeffry Preston Bezos a brilliant business genius who hit a series of home runs & won big across multiple sectors in an almost bewilderingly amazing way. Kudos for the big win Jeff, I only wish he would use empathy, sympathy, his limbic system & mirror neurons to help other people more, to inspire his children to do the same, especially since the mother of his children & ex-wife does this in a big way & seem to understand how to be a decent honorable billionaire. Jeff Bezos really an interesting person, as an entrepreneur, media proprietor, investor, computer engineer, & commercial astronaut. As founder & executive chairman of Amazon.com & previously the CEO, with a net worth of USD$200 billion Dec. 2021 eq / making him the second wealthiest person in the world, officially, according to Forbes & in Bloomberg's Index of Billionaires.
Billionaires Please Help Improve Things Where Government's Unable
To this end, I charge all people with great power that they also have great responsibility to help improve the world in ways the governments are unable, the way that Bill & Melinda Gates are doing with their respective foundation, especially to improve sanitation, education access, vaccination, genetic engineering of life to survive climate change & deep space travel where energetic ionizing radiation tends to have mutagenic, teratogenic, & carcinogenic effects by breaking DNA strands, causing biochemical dislocations in DNA & damaging cell machinery & cell signaling cascades feedback systems in organs & flesh & the brain & CNS, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, & especially the bones in the musculoskeletal system #medicine #physiology #cytology
Understanding that Earth is a Spacecraft & much more & that all human people & animals & ecosystems & nature are a big ecological system of life, in food webs, interdependent on all parts for air & water & food & shelter & niches to make use of. The oceans & lands of Earth are teaming with life, even with human over development & over population & the culture driven overconsumption of goods & materials & creation of waste not recycled intelligently & emission of toxic air & water pollutants because of lack of applied intelligence in processing technology & emissions controls. Applied technology really the trick to clean up most industrial processes. The development of less toxic alternative solvents & chemical additives that are less dangerous to life, to not sicken the workers & ecosystems near factories.
Lets examine why coal such a dirty burning fuel, its not just the climate changing CO & CO2 emitted, it really comes down to all the heavy metals in coal, like lead & arsenic & polonium & uranium & thorium; when coal is burned, these metal are oxidize into a grey ash that also contain rare earth elements like cerium, niobium, erbium, terbium & others. Capturing the ash in a bag house filtering system & them isolating those elements into commercially useful forms for making smart technology & strong magnets, very complicated & much innovation needed to make new practical feasible or cost effective & less toxic ways to recover the gold & platinum from coal dust etc.
More interesting still that coal contains carbon nanotubes & lots of novel kinds of carbon that can be separated & purified to make materials with better performance than carbon fiber. Some of the darkest black ink to make exceptional artwork comes from carbon combustion emission condensate fluids containing nano-particles that give a Vanta-black like light trapping matte ink or paint for paining to space "the heavens" with the black of space contrasting the stars systems. Some artists use black backgrounds to make the subjects pop, martini glasses & cigarette smoke, using white & grey light techniques in painting to create the illusion of 3D optical surfaces detracting & bending light!
Thankfully we live in a very dynamic time where invention & creative research & new materials & new products & services are being developed at a rapid rate. Consider the fake or cloned products improving in quality coming out of China, made in the same factories as the Luxury Brand products, these deep fake products are getting closer to the real deal. Consider the fake Rolex wrist watch & companies in China working with Japanese & Swiss watch makers too commercialized clone movements with sapphire jewel bearing caps & self winding automatic movements.
I am a watch, clock, time nerd who loves all kinds of timepieces, anything that displays time, because time is the one universal thing that all people are running out of in life & at the same time mysterious & esoteric. There is a time for healing, a time for rest, a time for joy & a time for peace, a time for celebration & a time for mourning, a time to be glad & time to be sad.
Life a bittersweet symphony with emotional ups & downs like a rollercoaster that help you to feel your experience, your subjective synthesis of sensory inputs blending with memories of past events & things you already know, in a way, like Anil Seth was talking about at the Royal Institution, we are hallucinating our reality & psychedelic drugs only change the way the active working memory processes are working, which creates those interesting unpredictable changes in mental function or executive function that some people find enjoyable in certain safe sets & settings or environments where they do not feel afraid or scared, since feelings like that can produce a "bad trips".
Ever been really drunk from drinking alcohol, thats an intoxicating euphoriant at low doses that turns into a disorienting depressant thats toxic at higher blood alcohol concentrations that can end in alcohol poisoning & death, coma, cancer & longer term health complications if regularly over consumed, not that I am telling you how to live, I drank a single 12 oz IPA Celebration Beer by Sierra Nevada brewing last night for example, which does not play nice in my body with the 1 gram of metformin or 40 mg of lisinopril that I take with my morning vitamins, D3, multi-B, mens multivitamin, resveratrol, baby aspirin, CO-Q10, Turmeric Supreme -- or it can also be weird with my evening 5mg Melatonin which I take 3 hours before bed, or GABA that I take if I wake up in the middle of the night wide away, in order to calm down.
If you can tell from my blog, I think a lot, my mind is bright & intense & filled with lots of wikipedia & documentary film & YouTube education content & I love technology & believe we can engineer our way towards a Utopia on Earth & love other people & want to see other people thrive more.
I was recently especially encouraged by a special needs kindergartener named Elena, who was so kind & nice & loving to me even though I was only driving her from school to a day care once, she was immediately accepting of me, warm & loving & kind & after the bus was empty, I crying my eyes out for a few minutes & the beautiful innocent & loving kindness I just experienced, a latent sense of remittent feelings for never having children, & other complicated feelings of regret & relief that are hard to articulate, mostly positive & uplifting thankfully.
You might wonder like I previously did, where bad people come from? Small children seem to displace innocent funny loving kindness naturally & we all started out as small children like this. Some how do some of us become despots ? Conditioning, nurture or a lack of, its the people in our lives that make all the difference. When we are children, thats mostly at home, in our immediate neighborhood, our friends & family. When we grow up, it becomes people we work with potentially, coworkers, other owners, maybe even an elite income earner. I have lived a very blessed & fortunate life & affiliated with people of great wealth & prosperity who shared some of their investing tricks with me so that I could help my self by investing in high income stocks to get dividend yield or passive income like they do, on a much smaller scale. Through this understanding, you must understand that some wealthy people are helping people with less capital, some rich are helping the poor.
Not all elite people turn a blind eye to the suffering of others. It can be very easy to become disconnected with realities of other people if you have enough money to isolate yourself from the grind, the daily reality of lower class working people, the poor & other people who are not as fortunate or lucky or blessed. Its easy even as a middle class person in America, who purchased housed for affordable prices to not feel the struggle of first time buyers who are facing a big capital challenge. Homes are also, often, no investments, but liabilities that can be broken into or damaged by vandalism or earthquakes or fire or storms or flooding. The roof & siding & window brackets break down faster than the unbroken glass & the seals in noble gas filled windows eventually leak from thermal shrink expansion cycling, the vinyl dries out, aluminum frames leaking heat because aluminum an excellent thermal conductor & used as heat sink materials in computers & even at heat pipes in smartphones to move heat away from the hot chipsets.
