Imagine a WAGMI Empire in which a few kings create an elaborate and complex financial network composed of investment vehicles that are soulless. Now imagine that royal people are told to publicly like these soulless, empty financial vehicles. Keep in mind, the common people in this WAGMI Empire believe in and worship every word that the royal people say. And because so many royal people are promoting these same soulless vehicles, over time, the common people begin to believe in these soulless vehicles, too. The common people begin to think these soulless vehicles have value, not because they genuinely like the soulless vehicles, but because they believe the royals genuinely like them. And because they believe the royals like them, they like them, too. The common people like whatever they see the royals like. It has been this way for thousands of years. Commoners don’t know what to like because they forgot how to use their own mental machines, so they end up liking whatever the royals like. It makes life easier, simpler.
But some people discover that the kings of the WAGMI EMPIRE told the royals to publicly like the soulless vehicles. And knowing that the kings told the royals to like the soulless vehicles changes things. Why would the kings tell the royals what to like? Who are these kings? And what about the vehicles with souls made by artists? What will happen to them in a society that only cares about the royals who are told to like the soulless vehicles?
