The 1% has successfully transformed a global scandal into a global social experiment, and WE, the 99%, are the test subjects.

The Goal of the 1%:

To understand what public actions can be taken by the billionaire class (during or post-humanitarian crisis), without being met with the threat of “true consequences” (defined below).

Achieving this goal requires a close study of how we, the 99%, collectively respond to any given amount of exposure to “corruption content” (defined below), and to gauge whether or not said response is considered “threatening” (defined below) to the billionaire class.

Purpose:

To develop a working process on how to survive global corruption that will inevitable reach global awareness, to the point of normalization. This ensures the corruption can continue.

Definitions:

• “Threatening”: A guarantee of punishment that invokes fear into the subject that the threat is being directed to
• “True Consequence”: A punishment considered appropriate for, or proportionate to, the severity of the crime(s) that have been committed.
• “Corruption content”: Social media content exposing corruption, typically “viral content” that circulates rapidly due to shock factor and global impact
• “Viral content”: Content that undergoes a rapid or sudden spike in both visibility and user engagement, reaching a considerably large population on a global platform.

Hypothesis:

Exposure alone is not a threat. When batched out in increments over a calculated period of time, any amount of exposure to “corruption content” will inevitably result in either (1) inaction, or (2) action considered “non-threatening” to the billionaire class.

Test:

1. Release “corruption content” in batches, increasing in both volume and severity over an extended period of time.
2. Use data collection tools to study the collective response of the 99% to said content, over a select period of time.

Variable:

Desensitize & Normalize: A significant portion of the test subjects will have algorithms that will desensitize them to violent occupation and corruption (via constant exposure to crimes of humanity displayed on short-form content platforms that quickly redirect our collective attention). This variable is added to gauge how different forms of social influence impact the overall response to “corruption content”.

Data Collection Methods:

• Social media algorithms to monitor public interest and engagement
• Facial recognition technology to capture and document physiological responses to “corruption content”
• AI that is able to interpret and communicate back said responses
• Other forms of data collection from advertising and other for-profit marketing tools

Results / Findings:

1. It has been consistently proven that exposure is not a real threat to the billionaire class, because exposure is later followed by collective inaction
2. The desensitization of violent corruption influences a culture of complacency, even when met with new information relevant to said corruption

Working Theory:

The billionaire class can continue to release “corruption content”, and the 99%, will continue to collectively freeze in a state of helplessness. These feelings will override any rage that may be simultaneously present, robbing the 99% of the cognitive ability to collectively and appropriately respond with the amount of resistance required to guarantee that “true consequences” will be enacted against the billionaire class. Instead, the repeated pattern of exposure followed by desensitization guarantees the success of continued normalization of the global corruption that traumatizes us.

What Now?

We, the 99%, need to have a collective understanding that exposure alone does not result in adequate change:

• To understand that, in a world of viral content, global publicity, and the entertainment that is celebrity scandal, that exposure is no longer considered a threat to the billionaire class
  • We no longer advocate for the public release of any additional files in relation to the corruption, because no additional public information is needed to understand the scale and severity of the situation or to begin the process of judiciary action.

Therefore, we, the 99%, need to redefine our goals and demands:

• Our chant is no longer “release the Epstein files”, but to “drain the pockets of all involved” and to “put political pressure on our government to act” until “true consequences” have been sentenced to all those accused.
  • Social impact is a start, but it is not enough. Economic and political pressure must be maintained until our demands are met.
