If you watch any of this youtube video you will find he repeatedly says that he is a stock trader and economist, and that he knows exactly where his expertise starts and ends. He knows very confidently that his past predictions have been highly accurate and successful, so he can see where this is heading.
But he also knows that he doesnt know how to implement the changes he wants to see. He knows his limitations and lack of skills as a politician, a taxation designer, lobbiest, etc. and that he isnt the right person for the job, which is why he is promoting Gabriel Zucman to design the taxation system, and is in contact with other figures to convince the politicians that vote on the laws.

What he does say is that he knows the problem, he knows the solution, he knows whats going to happen if we dont act. His whole goal is to get the message out to people and find the right voices to make the change, whether its the comman man who knows what to care about when voting, the people with power to change minds to talk to the politicians and law makers to make the change, and the economists to forge the right tax to actually effectively target the 1% before everything is taken from us.

So no, he doesnt have all the answers, but he just wants people to know there is a problem, what that problem is, how it will affect everyone and to not sit on your hands. I dont hold it against him that he doesnt have the whole package A to Z, he has gone above and beyond for a cause he is essentially committing his life to, even though he is (probably) wealthy enough to not give a shit.

Lmfao "downvote all you want"

Upvoted

But seriously guys like him sound like they just wanna hear themselves talk and look smart / on the morally right side of things. Absolute tool I guess. However not gonna tell him to stop saying it because the more people that do, maybe it'll help.

Ofc he’s not going to suggest that, that means he’ll lose his monies. “Rules for them but not me!”

The resources required to enforce such rules are controlled by the people who benefit from that not being the rules. Hell, the IRS has essentially said they don't have the resources to go after the biggest tax evaders because it costs too much.

Uh...

Medieval robber barons most often imposed high or unauthorized tolls on rivers or roads passing through their territory. Some robbed merchants, land travelers, and river traffic—seizing money, cargoes, even entire ships—or engaged in kidnapping for ransom.

I mean, we have a kind of tentative re-implementation of this in the US/Iran fight over the Strait of Hormuz. Also, with the vision of the Network State professed by Silicon Valley elites. And then there's the Trump economic plan of high tariffs and walled-off borders, which seems to echo the Israeli strategy of segregated micro-communities and settler expansion into neighboring enclaves.

Idk if I'd call any of this "investment" in the neoliberal sense. Much of it seems to involve rent-seeking through enclosure and extortion. There's no real value-add to any of it.

his discussion with Dan Neidle indicates strongly that this is slopulism

it needs to happen but not in the magical way gary the dunce suggests

He is wrong in one thing. The timeline. Digital feudalism already exists and we are living it.
