AI and machine learning AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It by Aruna Ranganathan and Xingqi Maggie Ye February 9, 2026 Harvard Business Review *We identified three main forms of intensification. Task expansion. Blurred boundaries between work and non-work. More multitasking.*

*the parasitical class is hellbent on keeping you in the dark about the potency of the monetary policy. No other ordinary policy instruments come close to ensuring rapid centralization of wealth and power* View quoted note →

*The revolving door between government and corporate boards creates selection pressure for compliance over competence. When regulatory capture determines market winners, the meritocracy filter gets bypassed entirely* View quoted note →

*Every transaction you conduct outside the system—every bitcoin payment, every handshake deal, every favor traded in a network of trust—is a vote for a different world* View quoted note →

*Cartels install or control people in government that appropriate money to NGOs, contractors, social causes etc that are front organizations. Those fronts cycle back considerable amount of that money to keep their controlled people in government in power, PACs, other NGOs that do astrotruf activism, industries like the media. In effect, votes and power are bought by the incumbent with public money to perpetuate their incumbency. This is how the deep state persists to such extremes, the parasite controls the host.*

*Among people who do use AI, the depth is shockingly shallow. OpenAI’s own enterprise data shows a 6x productivity gap between power users and the median employee. For coding, the top users interact with AI 17x more frequently than average. And 88% of daily AI users still mostly do basic tasks — search and summarize. Only 5% use it in ways that actually transform their work (EY Global, 2025).*

Nice. I still like the barbarix relic, though. One of the best gateway drugs to Bitcoin. *If this were honest marketing, they’d say: “Gold is a commodity hedge that must be sold through markets using fiat.” They never say that. Because the spell breaks instantly. So instead, they let the viewer infer sovereignty where none exists. That’s the weapon: borrow the authority of decentralization without delivering decentralization* View quoted note →

*They'll choose BTC not because it's speculative, but because it's the only settlement layer that can't be censored or deplatformed* View quoted note →
