The New Religion of the era is materializing, spoken of openly on the sliver tongues of gurus and soothesayers.

Humanity’s forthcoming enlightenment will in fact be a turning away from the Light towards the darkness of the material universe.

Men no longer seek to submit to divine authority, but instead to fashion themselves into tiny gods to rule over their own tiny kingdoms.

The New Religion that promises him wealth and ownership in this life will appeal to he who will soon be without wealth and authority.

We have an upcoming financial crash in the early 2020s, and then “the big one” near the end of the decade.

Presuming AI and automation are sufficient enough by then, those jobs will be gone and there are going to be a lot of very poor people.

Millennials who hardly saved for the future (most fell for the “live laugh love” meme) will be hitting their 40s/50s by then and finally realizing they’re fucked and can’t retire.

Add in whatever “redistribution” programs the reigning Democrats will have put in place too.

Lost my train of thought, but save your money in soft and hard forms and shut up about it (don’t tell anyone how much you earn, have saved, assets you own—seriously).

You can’t help these people and they will try to take what you’ve earned by force if necessary.

The middle class is mostly a modern aberration. It’s disappearing and will be gone soon, as $100K is barely enough money to support a family anymore.

Human society has traditionally been a select few with all the wealth and a mass of poor people one bad day from starvation.
