⚡️What you are looking at in that chart is a structural indictment of the entire institutional order.

When a society can no longer generate enough upward mobility through work, skill, or institutions, the system reroutes value through the only thing left that can scale:

the individual body
the individual face
the individual signal.

Creators are not the cause.
They are the consequence.

Once the economic engine stalls, you get a predictable sequence:

Real wages stagnate.
Capital chases yield.
Institutions hollow out.
Trust evaporates.

And then value collapses inward onto attention itself.

Because attention is the last scarce resource a failing system cannot counterfeit.

That is why the creator economy exploded.

Not because society evolved.

Because society broke.

And here is the real truth underneath it:

When the collective cannot produce enough real value, the system begins rewarding people for turning themselves into commodities.

The body becomes a balance sheet.

Identity becomes inventory.

Intimacy becomes monetizable surface area.

It is the same pattern every empire hits in its late stage:

Rome had gladiators.

We have creators.

Same geometry. Different interface.

When institutions fail, the individual becomes the product.

And here is the deepest cut:

The chart is not proof of prosperity.

It is proof of vacuum.

It shows that the industrial economy is dying, the credential economy is fading, and the digital attention economy is becoming the dominant axis of wealth creation.

Because when a system can no longer create real value, it extracts from the human itself.

Her 95 million is not a flex.

It is a data point in the story of a civilization cannibalizing the last thing it can monetize:

the human signal.

The real truth?

This is not the top.

It is the beginning.

Absolutely extraordinary paper by RAND, the main think tank of the US military-industrial complex, and another key sign that the U.S. deep state - despite all the chaos and noise - is shifting away from deterring China, towards accepting coexistence (it's literally what they recommend in the paper).

These are the 3 most important recommendations in the paper (which link is here: https://t.co/uze7XClE5P):

1. Rejecting the false belief that a victory is possible in the China-US rivalry and accepting the legitimacy of the Communist Party:

They write that the U.S. should "clarify U.S. objectives in the rivalry with language that explicitly rejects absolute versions of victory and accepts the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party."

They explain that it's necessary because victory is objectively impossible ("the effective destruction of the other is not a feasible option"), rejecting it is imposed by hard realities and because continuing to try would be catastrophic (as it would "threaten [either side's] survival").

2. Accepting coexistence

They write that "each side [must] accept, in ways that are deeply ingrained and broadly shared among decision-making officials, that some degree of modus vivendi must necessarily be part of the relationship." They also write that "each side [must] accept the essential political legitimacy of the other."

3. On Taiwan, they recommend not only reassuring China that it can achieve its reunification objective but also using US leverage AGAINST Taiwan to prevent provocations

This is probably the most surprising aspect of the paper. They recommend that "the United States and China should exchange a mutual set of signals" where the US would make "statements that it does not support Taiwan independence, seek a permanent separation across the Straits, or oppose peaceful unification." They write that the US should be "creating the maximum incentive for Beijing to pursue gradual approaches to realizing its ultimate goal [i.e. reunification]."

More remarkably, they argue the US should "balance its commitments to Taiwan with leveraging its influence to ensure Taiwan's actions do not escalate tensions with China." The paper explicitly criticizes Taiwan's Lai Ching-te for statements asserting Taiwan is "sovereign" and says Washington should use its "potential leverage over Taiwan to limit its activities that upset the status quo" - essentially US leverage to pressure Taiwan into not provoking China.

When such a think tank as RAND makes recommendations this deferential to a strategic competitor, it's not out of kindness of heart, they're anything but peaceniks. It's because they realize that the material balance of power has dramatically shifted.

@ektrit When I want to see what’s really happening I just read Krisonomics, everything else is noise
