The Two Economic Engines AI + Rich

In a technocratic economy, this is basically the whole game now: intelligence that can be amplified, and resources that amplify who you are. That flywheel is widening the gap between the haves and have-nots at an accelerating rate.

There is a harsh kind of meritocracy embedded in it:

• If you know how to amplify your intelligence for application in the economy/market, you can win.

• If you know how to amplify your wealth to acquire more intelligence—and then use that intelligence to amplify back into the economy/market -you can win too.

Everyone else gets trapped behind the compounding curve, watching the distance grow, because they don’t have access to (or don’t know how to use) the amplifiers.
