Your implying life is a zero sum game. If you win

Your implying life is a zero sum game. If you win it's bc someone else loses. And thus, it is smart and profitable to understand those dynamics and to bet on the side that is currently "winning". This, your conclusion is that there is no grand conspiracy just smart money. I throughly disagree with the assumptions which your premise presupposes and this and forced to reject your conclusions as well. Life is NOT a zero sum game to believe so is to have drunk the cool aid of those corporate entities and that you suppose are just doing what they do. They might just do what they do but this all hinges on the assumption of a zero sum game which they must continuously market to the masses. I.E your either on the winning side or you lose. This is not how life works...at least not life in the sense of the natural world. The human world is naturally aligned with the natural world but has the ability to alter it, for better or worse. Only by denying the true nature of a universe trying to unite differences in contrasts (definition of beauty) do humans invent the illusion of a zero sum game. And make no mistake this is a consequence of humanity's greed and arrogance in seeing itself as its own maker when in fact this is the biggest delusion of all.
