\u201cThe biggest mystery? What’s in those Scooby\u00a0snacks?\u201d<\/p><\/div>I address the idea of scaling in \u201cNine Empathies\u201d \u2013 the empathy for the idea itself that enables us to grow so far beyond other animals: To farm is to feed your family, but to teach farming is to feed millions, and to master and teach the theory of farming is to feed seven billion bellies every day.<\/p>\n

Much warned since the days of the Robber Barons, we have arrived at scaled humans: Jack Dorsey can silence the President of the United States, who in his turn can do \u2013 what? Jack squat. The tech oligarchs, at least, and perhaps all billionaires \u2013 minus Trump \u2013 have scaled: They can destroy anyone at will, and no one \u2013 not even the man who brought Kim Jung Un to heel \u2013 can do anything about it.<\/p>\n

In the links, Charlie Kirk is begging Elon Musk to save-us-obi-wan-scoobydoo!, and he thinks he’s just making entreaties among everyday crime bosses. Why Don Corleone is the preferred mafioso<\/em> \u2013 and why he, too, won’t turn on Turning Point \u2013 is a mystery, but here’s worse news for Charlie:<\/p>\n

Elon Musk has scaled on the tech oligarchs. He has the high perch and the ability to fake meteor strikes \u2013 garage-band \u2018rods from god\u2019 \u2013 and soon he will have nukes in space. At the moment he is sui generis<\/em> \u2013 homo novis,<\/em> 3G-humanity \u2013 and if he wanted to take over everything right now, he probably could.<\/p>\n

Damn one dam and it’s a brand new day \u2013 for somebody. Swallow hard on that…<\/p>\n
