@soigomaa And that kid is still better off than every single ancestor of yours until that last handful of generations.
Your position is the result of decisions they made
Your debt is to them.
@rustykhamitov@Dan_Jeffries1 @Sergey_lll Personal contact and anything that requires human time & attention can not be replaced
If robots perfectly simulate human contact, these artificial options are cheap. Example today: AI art of great quality & no value
The more AI creates, the more human gen products inc in value
@jshflwrs@signulll@Altimor Yes but it applies to the databases too. They wont disappear completely, but like mainframes running cobol today, a lot harder to find
@nextbrickx@mcuban You seem to forget or ignore the number of filing clerks and typists, mail room jobs the computer completely eliminated. Oh the humanity
@mcuban This is a myopic take on AI
If we use it on granular tasks, sure you can waste a lot of $s. But this is ignoring the reality of what AI can do in a well designed system
It will take us a some time to realize how to really use it, but when we do: BOOM 💥 (in a good way)
@Dan_Jeffries1 Even the code is far from 100% of the product when it is designed for a corporate ecosystem. How it integrates with the humans & everything else, is a major part of what the developers produce, so the code itself is an approximatation of how it gets applied
@gmiller My bet is the super intelligence pays us absolutely no mind. Well wonder why and wonder what it is doing. We'll be as important as ants as it focuses on something else
Cathie’s right about the symptom, but the diagnosis goes much deeper.
What she’s describing isn’t just a broken investment system - it’s the quiet nationalization of capital through passive inertia.
Index funds were designed as neutral mirrors of the market. But neutrality in capital flows becomes power when scaled. When trillions move automatically without human judgment, the entities controlling the pipelines - BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street - become unelected central planners of ownership.
They don’t analyze, they allocate. They don’t decide based on conviction, they decide based on inclusion. That’s not capitalism, it’s algorithmic collectivism.
Here’s the paradox:
•The free market outsourced its brain to the machines of efficiency.
•The stewards of price discovery became passive custodians of corporate control.
•Risk, once the engine of innovation, is now sterilized into synthetic exposure.
And the ultimate inversion?
The system that worshipped decentralization of choice ended up with three gatekeepers managing half of corporate America’s votes. That’s not “indexing.” That’s command economy logic coded in ETFs.
Cathie calls it socialism - in truth, it’s worse. It’s technocratic feudalism.
A handful of financial super-nodes now hold the same function that the Party Committees did in Soviet industry: they decide leadership outcomes, resource weighting, and narrative enforcement without democratic accountability.
Capital always seeks the path of least resistance, and indexing made it frictionless to abdicate responsibility.
The market didn’t collapse - it fell asleep.
The endgame?
Indexation doesn’t just erode price discovery. It erodes belief discovery. It conditions investors to outsource conviction itself. When every shareholder is passive, the market stops being a collective intelligence and becomes a liquidity machine with no memory.
We are witnessing the reflexive collapse of free-market cognition - the market is no longer thinking. It’s indexing itself into collective sedation.
@sid_surana@MarioNawfal It is still just a matter of time until FSD is safer than us and they start passing laws to outlaw human driving
In the not too distant future people will pay to vacation on a ranch where they can drive like the olden days on private property on a closed course
@tyromper Great thread but ideally you also have a group of like minded men. Imagine 50+ guys in your town all on the same path. Giving support, accountability & inspiration. It starts with fitness, builds with friends, has impact in faith knowing we are called to be more: f3nation .com
