The opening bit talking about the Pareto distribution of income triggered me a bit (in a curious way, not a bad way),
So I had a discussion with Grok
Does the Pareto distribution of income hold under communism?
Conclusion of discussion:
Communist systems didn’t eliminate the Pareto principle—they weaponized it. By coercing all economic surplus through the state, they created the most extreme wealth concentration in human history, where:
family/individual controlled more resources than the top 0.1% of any market economy
Political loyalty replaced market competition as the mechanism
Non-monetary perks hid the true distribution from official statistics
This explains why dissidents like Solzhenitsyn described the Soviet elite as living like “feudal lords” and why North Korea’s Kim dynasty represents the purest Pareto distribution ever observed—a single point containing nearly all economic power.
The Pareto principle is not just fundamental—it’s inevitable. Communist systems proved you can suppress private wealth accumulation, but you cannot suppress the tendency toward concentration itself. They simply made it more extreme by removing all competing centers of power.
Save lives, extend lives … support it! The globalists want the elderly to die, so they can harvest their wealth - So supporting gene therapies and more research (no matter what you may otherwise think of it), is a win win win.
The US and the UK (at least these two nations), BOTH made a simple arithmetic error? that caused the RDA for Vitamin D to be 10x lower than it needs to be to prevent disease. But of course … it’s just a coincidence and ‘they’ aren’t trying to make you sick and to be prey for big pharma. Statism/fascism at it’s best I say.
Very interesting and also terrifying talk with the former CIA officer John Kirakou.
Example CIA is able to turn the speakers on a smart TV into microphones and listen to conversations, even if the TV is turned off.
Great discussion very interesting. Some horrific hidden history revealed demonstrating the sociopathy that surrounds us.
John Lisle has a Ph.D. in history from the University of Texas, where he is now a professor of the history of science. His two books on the intelligence community are “The Dirty Tricks Department” and “Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKULTRA.”
“James Corbett and Ernest Hancock (who interviewed David Irvine many times) interview Ken Schoolland, the retired professor of economics who wrote the text for The Philosophy of Liberty. If you’ve seen the philosophy of liberty video and appreciate its message, you won’t want to miss this conversation on the roots of that video and the emerging effort to bring the philosophy of liberty to the masses.”
Feel free to start a thread where we can deconstruct the definitions and come to truth together … I suspect you won’t because I think you seek division - some deep seated need to hate others? I don’t know.
Also, I think you don’t know what my ‘idealism’ even is. I’m a pragmatist, not an idealist. I have morals that align with Voluntaryism, but I realize that such morals are not widely accepted - mainly because they are not widely understood. So teaching is the first part to changing the world. The second part is to always push for more decentralization. It’s a task (that Ken schoolland himself acknowledges in the interview above) is never ending.
Nothing ideal about any of that … it’s a labor of love for my children that they can live in a peaceful high-trust society.
AI bubble … Yep, and it’s being fueled by government investment mainly in the US and China, but to some extent in other nations too. Which just drives more private investment because they see the government money flowing in and think it means bigger profits.
We don’t “know” the future here of course, but it doesn’t look good.
Anyone want to see the amazing effects of huge currents and magnetism. You will not be disappointed. Want to see a 10KG Anvil levitate upwards and so much other amazing things.
The XZ hack. I recall it was mentioned on the forum around the time it was announced. This gives the fully history. Quite interesting.
Reticulum network is hardware agnostic, and much more private & secure than tcp/ip. A network for everyone. I think @Warren posted about it the other day. Pretty cool
Been following this story for a while now. I guess we will know within a year if it’s real or not. If it is, the battery landscape will radically change.
