Throughout history these so called elites needed people, they needed eyes, bodies, tasks, performances and various functions to keep their empire moving, as technology improved, so has their vast ability to acquire in mass almost every computation possible when it comes to information...
When the age of big data came around, big industry and gov collected everything to the point of TOO MUCH data, now with the onset of artificial intelligence capabilities. . they can make sense of it, they can put it to work for them.. and since they're being found out, the goal is chaos so no-one knows where to point.. that's why it's crucial that within the madness you see what's really happening in order to be affective, not reactive.
So now, as systems are refined, algorithms perfected, and data readily available to make sense of.. the ability to create automation and almost no need for a sentient being or 'human in the loop' to perform the task and functions of the past presents itself . . all of which could be used to harmonize humanity by the way . . but how to keep a vast awakening from taking part in the distribution of wealth, and not allow those to discover their human inheritance endowed by our creator . .
Calamities and distractions. . that keep the average person from opening their hearts and seeing the clear picture, they're too busy regurgitating the gossip & drama. . yet how can this be addressed and corrected without living in fear or reaction, easy... yet the only answer anyone could ever be told without doing the work is . . it starts from within, use your intuition, follow your heart, and know you are embraced in the arms of spiritual giants as the days of inequality come to an end.
