Illusions of the Super-Wealthy

All About the Money!

She strutted down the red carpet with a robot by her side, all done to create an illusion of intelligence, wealth, priviledge, and ignorant pride. It's well known that the wealthy purchase technology from the less fortunate for pennies for which they know little about, many sell their prize possessions dirt-cheap to fill a void from doing without.

Still, the well endowed purchasing these goods feel empowered, but are much too blind to see, that they are missing the essence of the forest, because they have overlooked the most important tree. Many have been sniffing Snuff from grandpa’s old funky stash, believing that they can now buy almost anything with a fist full of dollars, that is mostly stolen cash. The inventors from whence they now purchase their supplies are not as ignorant as before; they now sell them the condo, but keep the keys that open the door. 

Some are still so tethered to one dimension, until they convince themselves that they are special and invincible, but they are too unfamiliar with other realms to know, that the technology they are using has been used many seasons, long ago. They bought the lie believing that they can artificially replicate intelligence, God's most precious gift, and use it to steal money, or a stupid power grift. Some of us have been victims of this cabal, we understand things people blinded by wealth and power can never know, so we pick up some popcorn, and a soda and laugh as we watch the self-deprecating show.

Still, just John...
