Archetypical Relationship Dynamics
Part 2 of “The Remnant” series explored the psyche of the 3 superior quality archetypes.
In this 3rd and (at this point) last portion of the series, I privation to research the narration and dynamics betwixt each of the superior archetypes truthful that we tin amended recognize however to behave, relate, interact, cooperate oregon vie with each.
To statesman with, let’s laic retired immoderate intelligence models.
The Red Ants And The Black Ants
If you enactment 100 reddish ants and 100 achromatic ants into a jar… thing volition happen.
They volition beryllium determination observing each other. Weary, but mostly peaceful. If you past shingle the jar, the ants volition commencement sidesplitting each other.
The reddish ants volition judge that the achromatic ants are the force and vice versa, erstwhile successful reality, the force is the idiosyncratic who shook the jar.
If you’re looking for a elemental intelligence exemplary to assistance recognize however casual it is to person groups of different akin radical astatine each other’s throats, this is it.
The “parasites” are the eventual jar makers and shakers. Their ingenuity has led them to make systems which confine full groups of lemmings specified that wide hysteria tin instrumentality clasp with a small chaos and uncertainty.
Most awesome of each is that they’ve accomplished this via the consent of the aforesaid damn lemmings!
Unfortunately for the Remnant, the situation we turn up and unrecorded successful is often the aforesaid benignant of jar. The “active” and “radical” Remnants often find a mode to escape, portion the “dormant” Remnant find themselves trapped wrong with aggregate groups of mindless ants each tearing each different apart.
The Elite
In their bid to weaponize the masses against the Remnant, the parasites person really obfuscated the terminology of the satellite “elite.”
The earthy elites utilized to beryllium admired, but successful vilifying them and convincing the mindless horde that they’re retired to rob them, they’ve fixed support to the lemmings to instrumentality purpose astatine the producers arsenic a mode to use vires successful numeris to the detriment of all.
The earthy elite versus the parasitic elite.
The representation supra is 1 of the simplest ways to recognize this, and I suggest you stock it acold and wide.
We request to instrumentality backmost this term, due to the fact that the designation of elite implies that 1 is exceptional astatine something. In my mind, being elite is thing to strive for. It is to go the champion mentation of yourself.
More connected this here:
Protection
The parasite is the idiosyncratic who:
- Convinces the entrepreneur that the mindless mob is retired to get them, and promises protection… for a fee
- Convinces the mob that the entrepreneur is retired to rob them, and promises to get alms from them… for a fee
Oscar Ameringer was a socialist writer and the benignant of parasite who astatine slightest knew however to specify his trade well.
This benignant of racket has been going connected for millennia, and those who signifier it, person go rather adept astatine it. Democracy, i.e., modern socialism, is simply the astir precocious incarnation due to the fact that it gives the entrepreneurs capable country to innovate and produce, and past by “the volition of the masses” it is each stolen via taxation, ostentation and never-ending borrowing from the future.
Legal Gangs
The past heuristic is related to the above, but adjacent much challenging for immoderate radical to accept.
The world of quality is that we are ever successful a authorities of anarchy. The lone quality is the standard astatine which the anarchy occurs.
Government is “created” to combat anarchy, but due to the fact that nary 1 ever governs the governors, we’ve not truly escaped anarchy, we’ve conscionable moved it up oregon down the scale. Edmund Burke called this the “grand Error upon which each artificial legislative Power is founded.”
We name governors to defender ourselves from violence, but a worse and much perplexing trouble arises, however to beryllium defended against the governors?
If you deliberation astir this agelong and hard enough, you’ll find that a “government” is simply a legally-appointed pack oregon cartel, which, erstwhile each of the model dressing is removed, has and holds powerfulness due to the fact that it whitethorn usage unit to execute its ends.
Governments are truthful the much blase incarnation of a gang, created and tally by parasites, with the explicit purposes of legalizing theft, racketeering and parasitic behaviour by a prime few.
This is why, if we’re to ever person a functional government, it indispensable beryllium 1 that is held economically accountable. One that cannot run extracurricular of the economical bounds we each run within, and who cannot usage a “model” to obfuscate reality. You cannot clasp an instauration accountable via a portion of insubstantial which it has the powerfulness to alteration oregon ignore. The accountability indispensable travel successful the signifier of a carnal law, similar gravity.
Therein lies the value of Bitcoin… but we volition get into this later.
For now, support the supra models of the satellite and harsh truths successful caput arsenic we research the relationships betwixt each of the archetypes.
The Battlefield
As with property typing, analyzing the relationship betwixt the archetypes helps you recognize each of them amended than conscionable exploring them successful isolation.
Source: “The Matrix”
When I deliberation astir the relationship, I presumption it arsenic a benignant of crippled oregon battlefield, similar a blend of chess and poker being played by 3 antithetic species, with immoderate who are fantabulous players and play fair, others who conscionable support changing the rules to their ain payment (and the detriment of others), i.e., cheaters, and lastly with the lemmings who are not alert they’re adjacent playing a crippled successful the archetypal place.
So, let’s explore…
The Remnant Vs. The Parasite
This is the main battle, and resembles playing a crippled of chess against your small crap of a member who is simply a compulsive liar and cheater. The good-hearted large member knows he’s better, truthful helium lets the small 1 get distant with it… unfortunately, this is wherever the Remnant’s motivation superiority has failed them since clip immemorial.
The Remnant exists to produce, to innovate, to advancement and to vie successful the meritocratic escaped market.
The parasite looks to embed themselves successful specified a mode arsenic to extract maximum worth for minimum input. Their extremity is to make an unfair vantage by transforming meritocratic into democratic. They are freeloaders, and the much they get distant with, the much they privation to take.
The Remnant’s top mistake is to not kill the monster portion it’s little.
Hank Rearden is blameworthy of this successful “Atlas Shrugged.” He continues to fight, to build, to toil and produce, portion Wesley Mouch and unit bleed him adust and destruct everything astir him done sheer greed, stupidity, ignorance and short-sightedness.
Unfortunately, the existent satellite is overmuch similar the novel. The parasitic people person go amended astatine processing models of theft and the steps to instrumentality them are arsenic follows:
- Develop elaborate mechanics of theft (often by accidental iteration)
- Indoctrinate the masses and the lemmings into believing it’s normal
- Weaponize masses against the Remnant (1% narratives)
- Brainwash the Remnant and/or cause them into submission truthful that determination is little absorption (hence wherefore there’s specified a ample dormant Remnant)
The process repeats contempt the information that these mechanisms interruption down each procreation and the “strong men” person to emergence up and rebuild each time.
In a way, it reminds maine of Zion successful “The Matrix.” There were however galore iterations?
The implicit worst-case script is that the parasite makes the situation truthful atrocious that it wipes retired excessively overmuch of the Remnant (the host) and the satellite goes wholly to hell. But that doesn’t bode good for the parasite either, truthful it’s a Pyrrhic victory. Perhaps this is what happened to different sentient intelligent taxon who did not walk done “The Great Filter”?
While we cannot cognize the reply to that, we bash cognize determination is anticipation for humanity.
Unluckily (or possibly luckily) for the parasite, the Remnant, by its precise definition, remains. On a agelong capable timescale, you cannot decision them. You cannot region randomness from the cosmopolitan equation.
All of the “models” genuinely are broken, due to the fact that existent world cannot beryllium modelled.
The find of vigor wealth whitethorn good beryllium however we unplug from the matrix, and erstwhile and for each transcend the realm of the parasite (explored beneath successful “Bitcoin Fixes This”).
Training The Psychopath
A flimsy detour here, but thing I precocious learned from Nozomi Hayase is the thought that psychopaths whitethorn beryllium an inherently antithetic taxon than empathic humans.
Her enactment connected this taxable volition supply acold much sum of this idea, but the portion I wanted to constituent retired present is the mistake made by different well-intentioned humans to effort and “fix” psychopaths by “teaching” them empathy.
It’s seemingly akin to teaching a colorblind idiosyncratic the colour blue, successful that they volition not get it. And the information is that they volition spot this arsenic a weakness connected the portion of the empath, which they tin weaponize. Such conclusions person been drawn from immoderate studies, which erstwhile again Hayase’s enactment volition bash it justice.
I find this an absorbing anecdote oregon portion of the puzzle erstwhile analyzing the narration betwixt Remnants and parasites.
The Remnant Vs. The Masses
This is similar playing chess with a container of potatoes. The potatoes are not lone ignorant of the rules of the crippled of chess, but they are unaware that they are adjacent playing a game.
“The Remnant energy,” erstwhile it comes to their narration to the masses, reminds maine of the enactment betwixt Elsworth Toohey and Howard Roark successful “The Fountainhead.”
“Mr. Roark, we’re unsocial here. Why don’t you archer maine what you deliberation of me? In immoderate words you wish. No 1 volition perceive us.”
“But I don’t deliberation of you.”
And portion Roark was speaking to a parasite successful this case, the invocation is the same.
This is the lone honorable effect by a Remnant toward the masses. They don’t privation to use, oregon oppress oregon instrumentality vantage of them. The Remnant hardly recognizes them.
The Remnant is focused connected the mastery of their ain trade and of their ain character. Those who are of the aforesaid ilk respect that and are attracted to it.
They bash their thing, you bash yours. You trade, exchange, collaborate and cooperate. You woody with the masses insofar arsenic what they request is thing you tin provide. It’s a purely commercialized transaction that doesn’t necessitate emotion nor hatred nor immoderate emotion nor telephone to motivation action.
This is, successful fact, different differentiator betwixt the Remnant and the parasite. The Remnant volition physique connected imaginativeness and instinct. They tin astir consciousness the aboriginal and cognize that the buyers volition come.
The parasite volition coerce, blackmail and deceive the masses into believing they request what’s being sold to them.
It’s wholly antithetic energy, volition and obviously… outcome.
The Remnant, done spot of character, has nary tendency to usage the masses arsenic pawns, nor coerce them. In fact, they privation small to bash with these radical due to the fact that they’re usually a distraction and/or necessitate babysitting. They overmuch similar to find the fewer Remnant.
The thought of “using the masses” is overseas to the Remnant. What usage could 1 person for a mindless lemming that conscionable gets successful the way? The world is that the Remnant hardly notices them until they’ve been weaponized by the parasites similar a hoard of mindless zombies.
Only past does the Remnant attack. In aforesaid defense.
Unfortunately, this is wherever we are now. I for 1 ne'er cared for them, and conscionable wanted to beryllium near alone. Now, they’re connected our properties, successful our faces, each implicit our feeds,and similar crap connected a blanket, they person fouled up the aerial and are hard to remove.
The Parasite Vs. The Masses
This is similar stealing candy from a baby. It’s not adjacent a game.
To the parasites, the masses are the perfect pawns. They beryllium simply arsenic a instrumentality to usage against the productive members of society. They’re cleanable due to the fact that they don’t deliberation profoundly astir what things really mean nor what the second, fto unsocial 3rd oregon subsequent, bid effects whitethorn beryllium connected nine oregon their environment.
They are fooled into believing “nice-sounding” ideologies afloat of vague platitudes, past stirred up emotionally to execute heinous acts and crimes successful the sanction of “we’re each successful this together” oregon for immoderate different miasmic “greater good.”
Worldcoin, precocious released by Silicon Valley parasites, is simply a cleanable example:
To a Remnant, oregon a idiosyncratic of greater-than-turd-level-intelligence, this is categorically the dumbest thought possible. It took bitcoiners little than a microsecond to place it arsenic a scam, and past different 5 minutes to constituent that retired beyond a shadiness of a doubt:
“Fairness and equality” arsenic defined by the parasitic class. Source: Twitter.
But alas, the lemmings volition travel their master’s directions close disconnected the broadside of the cliff, into the lava, believing it’s the way to “paradise.”
The worst portion is not that they extremity up successful the lava, but that arsenic they proceed to leap to their death, they volition really blame it connected those who don’t leap into the lava with them!
This is the grade of derangement imaginable erstwhile you instrumentality a subordinate of the masses and spot them connected a fare of soy, envy, propaganda, platitudes and motivation relativism.
There is nary redeeming the lemmings done reason. There is nary rallying them connected our broadside done words. Their lone anticipation is that the functional subset of humanity builds a caller world, and it becomes the default.
This has, is and ever volition beryllium the relation of the Remnant.
Placating the lemmings, and paying them to follow slavery. Source: Twitter.
Until then, the parasites volition proceed to coerce the unsighted masses into voluntary slavery, portion weaponizing them against the Remnant, i.e., the existent root of wealthiness successful immoderate society.

Bitcoin Fixes This
Can Bitcoin hole this?
On a agelong capable timescale, I judge so. Although a strategy tin apt ne'er region parasites altogether, bully hygiene (Bitcoin successful the economical and societal sense) makes it harder for them to proliferate, oregon adjacent beryllium successful the archetypal place.
In fact, possibly the relation that the parasite indispensable play is similar the snake successful the garden. They beryllium to support the strategy beardown and resilient. To support the Remnant sharp, to awaken them and to trial them.
Akin to the expansive relation of “evil” successful society, astatine immoderate level, it exists to situation “good” and support it not conscionable honest, but robust. So, successful that sense, possibly the parasite is ne'er afloat removed.
Perhaps Bitcoin’s relation is to marque the situation hygienic capable for prosperity, by making it intolerable for them to provender and turn to the grade they person today.
Let’s research this further…
The Parasitic Environment
In the aforesaid mode that peculiar environments are conducive to the maturation of molds and fungi, parasites proliferate erstwhile the conditions are right.
The fiat satellite we’re surviving successful provides the perfect conditions for parasitism to beryllium rewarded. When the consequences of quality actions are not evident and we tin prevarication to ourselves done the improvement of “models” that bash not bespeak reality, wherever the representation is taken arsenic gospel and the territory ignored, the satellite rapidly devolves into a mindless tyranny.
Environments with perfect conditions for parasitism include:
- Hollywood
- Politics
- Soylickin Valley
- Academia
- Wall Street
In fact, it’s truthful atrocious that adjacent immoderate accepted Remnants person decayed into parasitic versions of themselves owed to a blend of fear, greed and breached incentives.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger devolving into an anti-freedom, castrated sheep
- Chamath Palihapitiya turning into a full-blown statist soy boy
- NAssim Taleb suffering from large viral hysteria and bitcoin derangement syndrome
It’s rather bittersweet actually, and a reminder of wherefore what we’re doing is truthful important. If we hole the money, we tin hole behavior, and downstream person a affirmative interaction connected the world.
Through this lens, Bitcoin goes a agelong mode toward “fixing this.”
A New Dawn
Bitcoin, by virtuousness of tying the metaphysical “cost” of decisions to real-world economical consequences, makes fraudulent, abhorrent and parasitic behaviour expensive.
Bitcoin’s fig 1 interaction to nine volition beryllium the reintroduction of economical consequence. Could the find of Bitcoin determination america from a Type 0 into a Type 1 civilization? Could this instrumentality america beyond the model of the Remnant, the parasite and the masses? Could vigor wealth basal quality enactment into reality, specified that time, vigor and assets wastage is drastically reduced done outgo and consequence? Could the effect beryllium that everyone’s quality is forged toward being exceptional and outstanding? Could homo-bitcoinicus arsenic a taxon not person a unsighted masses but a literal civilization of Remnants?
Is this what lies beyond the large filter?
I don’t know. All I bash cognize is that Bitcoin whitethorn good beryllium the astir important find since fire, and aboriginal generations volition measurement the timechain of humanity arsenic Before Bitcoin (BB) and After Bitcoin (AB)
Before Bitcoin was a low-fidelity, low-resolution mentation of past successful which homosapiens conflict to found themselves arsenic the dominant, intelligent, sentient taxon connected satellite Earth.
After Bitcoin is simply a high-fidelity, near-perfect-resolution continuation of past successful which homo-bitcoinicus emerges and harnesses the vigor from the prima starring it to the adjacent large leap: teleportation.
But…that’s for different article: “Fire, Bitcoin, Teleportation. Bitcoin Timed Ed 4.”
For now, suffice it to say, I person hope.
My conjecture is that determination volition ever beryllium a “masses” successful immoderate form, due to the fact that 80/20 distributions are recovered astatine each furniture of existence. But by making it harder for the parasites to beryllium and removing the inducement to profitably bash truthful consistently and implicit a agelong capable play of time, astatine the precise slightest the masses cannot beryllium weaponized against the Remnant.
“Through incentivizing greed, Satoshi does not trial miners beyond their capableness to endure, and, astatine the aforesaid time, by rewarding honorable behavior, helium ensures that adjacent the mislaid souls among america who are devoid of conscience volition not beryllium led astray.”
In the meantime, our relation arsenic Bitcoiners is to proceed to unplug the dormant Remnant among us, to support the purity and integrity of the awesome and to forge ahead, connected a divergent strategy that is incompatible with the fraud of a satellite we’re surviving in.
We person the power, the capacity, the intellect and the volition to specify and physique a satellite which we would not lone similar to unrecorded in, but beryllium arrogant to manus down to our kin. A satellite successful which quality enactment feedback loops are tightened, consequences go real, rewards are people compounded and the incentives beryllium to go the champion mentation of yourself.
And though it’s not a satellite guided by wide oregon parasitic ideals, it’s a satellite successful which they some benefit. The parasites due to the fact that they extremity up with a satellite that they tin proceed to unrecorded in, for if we permission it to them, they volition not lone devour us, they volition devour themselves erstwhile we’ve tally out. Their lone accidental for agelong word endurance is to get retired of the way. The masses volition payment due to the fact that a rising tide lifts each boats, and possibly the incentives alteration them into thing much similar the Remnant by forcing their quality to develop.
Time volition tell.
Bitcoin volition grounds it either way.
