You can't ethically build a billionaire in our society as it stands right now, but ethics are not law. What follows law is coherence and that's it. Billionaires aren't that coherent, but they are coherent in one particular way. They know about containment. They know about containment, even if they know about nothing else. They know that if there's one tiny thing, you don't want to lose it, you want to contain it and allow it to grow more. That containment can come from anywhere. It can even come from you. They're borrowing your containment. They're borrowing your nervous system capacity. It's impossible to accumulate, see coherence, it actually acts as a gravity well and like a node that accumulates stuff around it. Coherence naturally stabilizes the environment, so it accumulates influence and gravity. The more coherent you are, the more influence you have. Now, these billionaires aren't very coherent at all. But the geniuses that what little tiny bit of coherence they do manage to capture, they contain it and amplify it maximum. What allows them to be billionaires right now is not genius and not superiority. It's that they're borrowing capacity from your nervous system. It's an extractive by definition. But whether it's extractive or not, it is real containment. You really are helping them stabilize their wealth. Whether or not you know it. Now, here's the secret though. They have maybe this much coherence and they're amplifying and stabilizing it maximum. So it seems like a lot of coherence, but it's actually a very, very tiny amount. If you are an actually truly coherent person, like a lot of you are in my audience, you will just, a lot of you suck at containment. So you're extremely coherent and you're sitting there like a sparking lightning bolt and all of your charge is just discharging into the environment without stabilizing or being contained at all. When you can contain that, you can use it. But if you don't contain it, you can't use it. A lot of our capacity is being used right now to stabilize other things that are not us. When you have a self-concept of powerlessness, you're stabilizing something with that concept. Is it you? Probably not. What structure are you stabilizing that? The thing you can actually learn is not that you can be an extractive person. It's that there is a coherence to containment. It's that if you want to grow and stabilize, you need to contain. That is something they're very, very good at to the point of being pathological and extractive about it.
