Many readers Grok’ed the core message of the original article. Others asked for deeper clarity on the hidden layers beneath Elon Musk’s vision. This addendum serves as that deeper dive. Think of it as peering through a window into the mechanics of tomorrow while spotting the ancient (and hidden) forces pulling the strings.
The Path to a Cashless Society Unfolds
The original article laid out a clear progression toward Elon Musk’s dream of a cashless society. Picture it like a river carving its way through stone over centuries, but the coming change will happen in years not centuries. CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) will replace Fiat in years. A full cashless society potentially arrives in decades.
It starts, with simple coins hammered from precious metals like gold and silver. These held value because everyone agreed they represented real worth dug from the earth.
Next comes fiat currency. Governments print paper notes backed not by metal but by trust in the system itself. This shift freed economies from the limits of mines but introduced new controls through central banks. Then we see crypto currency emerge. Such digital currencies start out free but the technology that runs them is now being subverted by Governments; the government is usurping a decentralized protocol to implement a centralized CBDC. It builds on blockchain tech for speed and security yet keeps oversight in “official” hands.
The final stage points to a full cashless society (for a while). Here transactions flow instantly through networks powered by artificial intelligence and automation. Production seems boundless as machines craft goods at zero marginal cost. Elon himself wonders aloud how value holds in such a world. My last article and this addendum answer that question step by step.
Hidden Forces Demand Their Share
Surface level changes grab headlines. Coins to crypto (that is, state controlled digital currency using crypto technology) makes for attention grabbing tech talk. Yet deeper forces shape the journey. These hidden forces stay out of sight yet steer every turn.
In the language of inner alchemy this force carries the name Archon. The Archon acts like a silent toll keeper on every road. It must always have its due. No system escapes this rule. Even as tech promises freedom, barter endures in new guises.
Barter never vanishes because exchange, and the focus of attention and anxiety that such barter creates, lies at the heart of Archonic reality. Early humans traded grain for tools. Today we trade FIAT currency for products. Soon will swap digital tokens for products and services. And in a nearing future we might trade fleeting scarcities (human attention and loyalty) for access to everything our hearts may desire.
The Archon ensures something always flows back and forth. No free lunch exists in its domain. It uses every potential structure to create polarity, division, feelings of scarcity… Fear itself.
Why? Because it needs this energy. It is a predator, preying on human emotion and anxiety.
Being in its grasp, humanity reflects the mind of the Archon. Its mind is miserable, heavy, always thinking that its easy meal (human emotional bandwidth) will be taken away from it. It is a relentless heinous predator that is forever biting and scratching every which way, expecting that at any moment its meal will be taken away, and it is this mind that we reflect.
We see scarcity everywhere, we could have the entire world at our feet, but we always want something more, while at the same time always expecting that our meal will be taken away. Under the relentless power of this current, a truly free and barter’less economy becomes impossible. The Archon needs conflict. It needs fear, stupidity, emotional outrage, and it shapes the world to suit its purpose.
A Thread of Possibilities from the Void
Gazing into the future requires more than data charts. It demands seeing with inner senses into an aspect of the void, which you can think of as a kind of expansive present moment filled with every possibility imaginable. There, a thread of possibilities appears and as a seer I must focus on that thread to perceive outcomes. This thread weaves Elon’s vision into reality… but a reality with an Archonic twist.
The path forward involves digital currency contracts. Smart agreements coded on blockchains that enforce deals with the overseeing eye of the government as the middleman. It is this technology that, in time, allows for the eventual development of memetic based tribes of production (The Memetic Economy) as I mentioned in my previous article. Groups form around shared ideas and symbols and this is finally becomes the cashless society where things are not priced in money, but attention. These tribes, as wards of large production companies, trade influence, loyalty, and memetic virality for all the material goods they could want.
Futurists often sketch broad strokes. Elon admits the fine steps remain fuzzy. This article thread hopefully clarifies all of it. Unlimited production arrives through AI driven factories and molecular assembly. Cash fades as contracts and memes handle value. Eventually even government controlled digital money fades to some degree. Society hums along yet the Archon watches and feeds.
No Free Ride from the Archon
Elon’s question is a hard one to answer if you don’t understand the fundamental currents that shape this reality. If production costs drop to zero what replaces money? The answer is that money gives way to the basics: attention, especially when fueled by intense emotion. No one escapes the Archon’s grasp
Material wealth rests on human attention. Attention forms the true currency. It acts like a lens focusing scattered light into a sharp beam. That beam solidifies chaos into form. Chaos here means the mathematical jumble of potential in existence. Attention picks paths through it, turning possibilities into solid events and objects.
Individuals focus on personal dreams. Crowds direct collective realities shaped by belief systems and reality tunnels. Markets thrive where attention concentrates. Companies and Brands rise on viral buzz. Stars shine from fan devotion. Even AI outputs gain worth from human gaze.
Scarcity Rides the Sine Wave
The Archon thrives on scarcity and conflict. It ensures limits persist amid abundance. Humanity spreads to new spheres, even among the stars. Fresh scarcities arise. Rare minerals on Mars. Unique data from distant probes. These become valued material trade goods for a season.
Value ebbs and flows like a sine wave cresting and dipping. Early scarcity spikes demand. Innovation floods supply. The wave flattens. Attention shifts elsewhere.
New goods tempt with shine. Systems adapt. The wave settles. Everything circles back to human attention as the origin of worth. But you must realize that even that attention is barter, and to understand this scarcity parallax, you must understand memetics, the power of human attention, and the constant and never-ending war between different tribes of humans as they try to increase the memetic power of any particular product or idea.
Indeed the whole of humanity, the whole of human existence, is based on this memetic battle: The Psychic War. I outline the nature of this memetic battle, and how to counter it, in my book, Overcoming the Archon Through Alchemy.
Scarcity Parallax: A Spatiotemporal Economic Theory
Scarcity Parallax is a framework coined by me describing the relative nature of value through the lens of economic evolution, the power of human attention, and systemic Archonic control. It posits that scarcity is not an objective constant but a shifting perception defined by the observer’s “angle and location” within the progression of space-time.
1. The Illusion of the Stationary (The Stellar Constant)
To the individual observer, certain scarcities (such as gold, land, or rare minerals) appear as verifiable facts. Much like a star in the night sky, these resources seem stationary and absolute from a single point in time. This perceived fixity provides the stable foundation for barter systems and traditional value metrics. We treat these scarcities as “truth” because, from our immediate vantage point, the distance and scale of the system make their underlying fluidity invisible.
2. The Spatiotemporal Parallax Shift
In physics, parallax is the displacement of an object’s position when viewed from different points along a vast orbit. Similarly, as humanity moves through the “orbit” of technological and civilizational progress, the “stars” of scarcity shift:
- The Change in Angle: From a planetary perspective, certain minerals are rare; from a space-faring perspective, they are abundant.
- Relative Position: Scarcity is a coordinate. When the observer’s location in space-time changes, the “fact” of what is scarce shifts against the background of universal potential. What was once a “fixed” point of lack is revealed to be a fluid variable, proving that value is a matter of perspective rather than an inherent property of matter.
3. The Sine Wave and the Archon’s Influence
Value fluctuations behave like a sine wave, regulated by the Archon. Rather than moving the observer’s physical orbit, the Archon inserts its mind into the collective human psyche. This ensures that, regardless of the observer’s vantage point, the Archon dictates the meta-value of the perceiver.
- The Mandate of Lack: By shifting societal perspective from within, the Archon compels humanity to look for scarcity even when surrounded by plenty.
- The Cycle of Attention: This psychological tether ensures the sine wave of value never flatlines. As one resource becomes abundant, the Archon recalibrates the human gaze to fixate on a new “distant star” of scarcity, perpetually cycling human energy and attention.
4. Human Attention: The Steady Core
While the “position” of various scarcities shifts according to the observer’s angle in space-time, the entire system is anchored by Human Attention. In this model, attention is the only true source of value; the central point around which all “parallax” effects occur. All trade, barter, and Archonic control are ultimately attempts to harvest and direct this singular, steady core.
Summary: Scarcity Parallax reveals that “lack” is a psychological and spatiotemporal orientation. It is the shifting perception of value that occurs when the Archon’s internal influence meets the changing vantage points of human evolution.
Why This Matters Now
Elon’s vision electrifies, doesn’t it? Zero cost production sounds amazing. Yet ignoring, or not knowing about the Archon, means dark surprises.
The original article outlines the steps. This addendum expands on that original by making my position clear as an inner alchemist.
Barter evolves. The Archon persists. Attention rules.
It is all a matter of using your inner senses and following the threads from the void. Future realities take shape not just from code but from focused minds. And those focused minds are at the moment controlled by a dark force that needs human attention to remain focused on scarcity, polarity, stupidity, and endless emotional conflict.
The journey excites for sure. Cashless worlds await. But, hidden forces guide, so stay attentive.
The Archon counts its due.
