There are countless industries which exist just to take from you as much as they can. It flows upwards, not outwards.

Like it would be nice if they triple-charged you for car repairs at a dealership if those profits went into the hands of the repairman. But they cut the repairman wages, and up the price. That is a universal practice.

Debt collectors, insurance companies, banks and credit card companies, hospitals, rental agencies, … am running out of examples. There are more. Many more.

They exist to take your money, nothing more. They don’t simply offer you a fair service for a fair value. The few at the top seek to make as much money as they possibly can, and will stop at nothing to extract it.

This is where AI comes in. Do not fret about the jobs it will take, it is almost entirely in the extraction economy. Their jobs are being replaced only as an extension of this process, which they freely signed up for and participated in—to earn a paycheck at your expense, not because they offer a fair service.

We all live to create millionaires. Don’t think about Billionaires, they are almost unrelated. It is the average millionaire who lives at your expense.

How is this philosophy?

It takes philosophy to decide you deserve more than other people. It takes philosophy to believe you can take what does not belong to you. This is all philosophy.

You may like Hegel or Kant, but they have nothing on the extractor—mere wordplay.
