“It should come⟳ as no surprise⟳ that while the peasants are expected to eat⟳ fermented fungi, lab-grown meats and maggot milkshakes, the Controligarchs — with their private chefs — have⟳ no intention of doing the same.”

“The Controligarchs share⟳ an ambition to reshape the world, and their wealth gives them the influence⟳ to do it. […] Bruner asks if the current global financial system, which is built upon an exchange⟳ network of national currencies backed by their respective governments, seems to work⟳ well. Why would one central entity need⟳ to control⟳ currency? The reason⟳, as with many other Controligarch schemes, is that a centralised digital currency also is put⟳ forward⟳ as the solution to many nonfinancial problems— from climate change⟳ to cyberattacks to the rise⟳ of so-called disinformation.”
