Why the Rich Will Never Let You Win – Aristotle's Lost Warning

youtube.com/watch?v=66ZV1ualw4

Aristotle’s forgotten warning about the most dangerous threat to society: oligarchy. Unlike tyrants, oligarchs don’t conquer — they buy, manipulate, and hide behind institutions. They don’t destroy democracy… they wear it like a mask.

“We have YouTube lectures by Fields Medalists, MIT open courseware, Anki decks for nearly every subject.

“But global literacy gaps persist, and millions of students learn less in a year than others do in a month.

“Information, unlike rice or vaccines, is infinitely replicable.

“Its marginal cost is nearly zero.

“And still it fails to reach the people who need it most.

“Why?

#Culture, access, incentives, #institutions.”

La #LoiDuplomb est pour les paysans #Bio et la #biodiversité dans l' #environnement , ce que #Microsoft imposé dans les #Institutions #Publiques ( #education / #armee / ... ) a été et est toujours pour les militants du #Libre , des #communs_numeriques et des #FormatsOuverts , les #banques_de_graines jusqu'à l'accès à l' #eau , or ce n'est que le 'M' de #GAFAM , car c'est un modèle qui nous impose sa loi sur tous les registres de nos vies, comme le #petrole et toutes les #privatisation (s) , mais qui a pourtant une seule dénomination totalitaire : #neoliberalisme en #oligarchie

Vous êtes le produit : consommable, comme la Terre.

The U.S. holds the world reserve currency and remains a trusted investment hub globally due to the strength and legitimacy of its #institutions.

Imagine if a minoritarian faction wanted to terminate the political economy and cruelly disrupt the society it reaps value from in a fit of caged rat syndrome.

Imagine.

It’s easy if you try.
