Some rambling about why the elite seem to always win.
Yet another thought from an empty head, this time about fortune.

It’s commonly understood by people who are students of either psychology or people, that fearful people broadcast and project their fear on others.

Thus people see when someone threatens with anything from physical or amplified violence such as shooting one displays what they themselves fear most. For people committing robbery with a weapon simply stating that they themselves will be subject to the violence they perpetuate by others would more often than not traumatize them. Because the person committing the robbery is projecting what they fear.

Thus one of the most effective ways to coerce someone is to threaten them with whatever they threaten anyone else with. Because that is what they fear and as such is the worst thing they can imagine anyone doing to them. Thus they threaten what they themselves fear.

I’ve thought of the use of mental cues with which people traumatise themselves by postulating the thing they believe to be evil happening to them.
Thus when someone says they need their guns, they’re actually saying they require something with which to threaten someone to coerce them into conforming to their will.

Rather than wishing to use force or violence, one should hope to use their most effective weapon. Their brain to convince people that their wishes are in the interest of everyone, thus they rule over others through superior knowledge and mental prowess.

It’s said, “If you have to use force, you’ve already lost.” But the question remains why. The answer is you can not convince the person to do what you will otherwise because they do not wish to do it of their own volition.

Now for the point as to why resistance to the elite is pointless.

The elite have a better standard of education, including the words of Cicero to Napoleonic tactics of war. More information matched with a much better start and standard to life. Equates to someone more fit to rule than the huddled masses who state that the winners of Nascar are their heroes.

This is the kicker… Your peasant ancestors fought bloody wars of attrition with pitchforks to force the elite of their time to grant you public education where you would have the hope to thrive and one day equal the elite.

But you’ve chosen to watch the Kardashians and drink or do drugs because you’re bored…

The elite didn’t win at life; you the common person just chose to lose.

One could bemoan their fate as the result of their parents lack of ambition. But how many people are born into wealthy families, only to lose their wealth and be impoverished by the third generation.

You could buy a lotto ticket for tomorrow’s draw and win millions, only to in a few years declare bankruptcy like many other lotto winners.

Luck by itself either at birth or by being fortunate does not grant just by itself a happy life. But rather a life lived through having some meaning is indeed a fortunate one.

You are not your thoughts, you are the witness of the thoughts.Turn your awareness not to your thoughts, but to your own awareness. Carefully observe your awareness, and you will discover you are not the awareness, but the source of your awareness.

The elite vs the common man is not your story to tell, it has been told to you. Like all stories, it is a fiction. The story is not a problem seeking a solution, or a riddle seeking an answer. The story is a story. If you are tired of the story, simply let it go.


It may be quite challenging to achieve this as your thoughts will convince you otherwise, but remember, they are only thoughts. And you are not your thoughts, you are not even your awareness, you are the source of your awareness.

I sort of understand what you're saying.

But the only we can be certain of what we know is what we think. Even postulating how or why we think what we think because we think it we don't actually know.

For instance, when we think, we know there are neurons in our brains firing to produce thought. How those neurons work other than the measurable difference in action potentials and probability in triggering other neurons. Whilst other people may know I however do not.

I think you're right in that this story "the elite vs the common man" may not be my story to tell, however I want other people to realize their potential by not self sabotaging their lives.

So much is wasted in the entertainment of the common man. I think we should work towards more productive things. The first step is to realize what we do wrong that could be done better.
