This is a Triumphal Tale of the Tragedy that has engulfed us for so long.

Capitalism has become a Conniving Kleptocracy.

This is a beautifully written cry of Anguish at the loss of what used to make humans great.

Your words and observations are pinpoint.

Thank You

It has just come to me that what we might be dealing with is “Thunder Dome Capitalism “ .

Rulers of the Wasteland.

And the few who sing…

“We don’t need another Hero, We just want to find the way Home”

..Beyond Thunder Dome

Godspeed.

Amazing work. I could not say it better.

Stewardship is not in vogue. It requires long-term thinking during times when long means until the following Q report.

The left hemisphere's thinking rules. Only a cold-blooded, overtly logical, and linear interpretation is the norm.

Not another sales pitch.

Not another finance newsletter.

Hello @theSilenttreasury,

In a world drowning in noise, we know your time is the most over-solicited asset.

But if you believe the rarest long-term investments are farmed and cultivated, not just found, this may be worth your time.

We are stewards and builders of The 100x Farm:

A quiet research sanctuary for long-term investors committed to discovering and nurturing the seeds of 100x asymmetric returns -

across decades, not cycles.

For some of us this is legacy work. We are building portfolios for generations we haven’t met yet, 

And anchored in values we will not dilute.

No pitches. No decks. No dopamine.

Just one deep thesis a month filtered through complexity science, evolutionary logic, and Mungerian discipline.

You won’t find this in trending feeds, leaderboards or algorithmic rankings.

And that’s by design.

We do the filtering and deep research so our members can see clearly.

We write only what we’re willing to hold for decades.

And we are optimized for trust, not scale.

If any of this resonates, our farm door is open.

Our welcome note and strategy is linked, should you and your patrons choose to engage.

Warmly,

The 100x Farmer

Self organized criticality, build up of Endogenous risks, punctuated equilibrium, leverage liquidations cascades, rinse & repeat. Echoes of the song by the Byrds :) Do everything, Churn, Churn, Churn :)

Yes, Common practice in Multi-Generational Family Owned Businesses globally, few Founder-CEO firms, and ‘Permanent Home’ principled Serial Aquirers based largely in Scandinavia, parts of Europe, UK, India and Canada.

Thank you for sharing this! What a poetic encapsulation of a phenomenon that undermines the long success of all.

Only together, collectively, can we can make the Sacred Return. A new paradigm is wanted. NEEDED. W-5.

“…gods without consequences drift toward convenience.”

Sounds like a certain wannabe dictator we have been hearing from far too frequently.

Trump said, “We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years.”

Well too bad, because the 5th Amendment, which applies to everyone inside of the United States regardless of citizenship status, states, “No person shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…”
