Give them Bread and Circuses and They Will Never Revolt!

Hey Satsmate Stackers, It is absolutely crazy how many large-scale sports events are occurring all across the Americas recently. It is eery how many distractions we have at this time, when things clearly haven't been going well in the macro economy. In today's podcast, I go over how many circuses and sports events are keeping us distracted, as well as what we may be distracted from. I don't think it is bad to enjoy sports, and enjoy life - as I partake in many of these events and know many successful people that do as well... My main thing is it is important that we do not take our eyes of the prize, and we don't lose sight of what truly makes this country a special place to be. Specifically, in this podcast, I go over the following: This is a famous quote from Juvenal around 100 AD. In the centuries to follow, Rome faced a tremendous declineThere are so many important issues going on right nowInflation, energy prices, food insecurity, war in the Middle East, and famineAt the same time, while there are so many activities that require our full focus and attention, it is being diverted by enormous  eventsAll of these circuses/events come right as things are not looking great. This distraction is helping the upper class and eliteHow could we protest or riot, or start a revolution if we are fat, docile, drunk on beer, and sedated with all this entertainment? All these cheap dopamines, you feel like you are engaged, but there is a lack of any real-world follow-throughEasier than ever to have ultra-processed food, algorithmic feeds, and entertainment is dirt cheapWe chase ourselves from distraction to distraction, stating everything is fine, but is it? Is our standard of living improving? Are we making a material change in this world? If you were elite and wanted to stay in your position of power, how would you sedate the masses? There literally is a Nitro Circus on the White House lawn, a huge UFC Fight on the White House Lawn, Endless Futbol matches here in the Americas, and lastly the basketball finalsProtests and riots erupted all across NYC the other day, but not in revolt of how bad things are - rather there team didn’t winThe elites want you pitted against each other, not against themThey will keep delivering these and make us as sedated as possible to avoid the reality of what this country has becomeIf you like this, feel free to share it, leave a like, or comment.
