The Great Inversion

The world isn’t what you think it is anymore.

Every institution that promised you security is crumbling:
- Universities charging $200k for degrees that AI can replicate
- Corporations laying off thousands while paying CEOs 400x worker salaries
- Banks holding your money hostage while inflation eats 7% yearly
- Government pensions that won’t exist when you retire

But here’s what they don’t want you to see: This isn’t a collapse. It’s an inversion.

The real power shift happening right now:
- Education is moving from institutions to individual creators
- Wealth is transferring from physical assets to digital properties
- Authority is shifting from credentials to results
- Value is moving from scarcity to infinite digital scale

The winners in 2025 won’t be the ones with fancy degrees or corporate titles.

They’ll be the ones who understand one crucial truth: The internet isn’t just a technology. It’s a new economic system.
