Global Intel Hub — 1 31 2025 — Knoxville, TN– This is a practical, philosophical, framework of the system based analysis of where we are at and where we are going, based on the perspective of major influential economic actors including billionaires, governments, NGOs, and mega corps. Looking at markets, the maker v. taker model applies to society, to any system. The takers spend billions branding themselves as makers, or virtuous actors doing ‘good’ but when you peel back the onion, they are sucking value from the economy which generates degradation, garbage, chaos, unemployment, fraud, disease, and poverty.
Please bear with us, this framework took 5 years to boil down into simple logical pieces. Logically, there is no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ there are results of algorithms, there are behaviors of economic actors. We’re not judging. For any civilization to grow, there has to be a critical mass of makers, and when the takers overwhelm the makers, like viruses, we have the famous collapse of civilization.
More about Takers
Takers include scammers, people who steal, ponzi fraudsters, the criminal mafia, and of course greedy corporations. Takers often can seem evil, let’s look at the weapons manufacturers. Some have called them “Merchants of Death” – but they all have families to feed, right? But Makers have families too, the difference is that Takers make their family wealthy, while Makers make other families wealthy.
Most publicly traded companies are takers, but not all. Think of the typical corporation depicted negatively in narratives where they are maximizing profit but at the cost of lives, culture, planet, etc. as in the feature film “Avatar” where the substance from the whales on another planet is worth billions but it kills the soul of an entire civilization. Takers don’t understand sustainability. They don’t understand abundance, they don’t understand that when you give, you get back so much more. They are greedy hoarders, which leads us to the next point – what are they doing with all that money?
One easy way to identify a taker vs. a maker is how they spend their money. Look at the billionaire class. Most of them max their profit and then indulge in lux culture featuring private jets, fancy events, million dollar weddings, million dollar watches, and other absurd waste of resources spending. In the most obscene waste of money, Crypto bosses spent millions in Miami nightclubs ordering 30k and even 500k bottles of Champagne only to pour it over themselves while dancing. [1] Makers take their savings above what they need for their families and invest it creating more jobs and more livelihoods for families. Value spreads, theft doesn’t. Stealing is similar to the Oil reserves, it’s a one off thing. You can run a ponzi scheme once, but once investors understand it’s a scam, raising money will be difficult. A value-chain created by makers is the opposite, it spurs other businesses.
Most Hedge Funds are takers, they buy and sell assets betting on market price discrepancies and aside from profits, mostly don’t create any value. There are exceptions of course, where hedge funds invest directly in businesses or provide much needed non-bank financing, but for the most part Hedge Funds are toxic. One great example is the Citadel “Flash Boys” situation where big groups lobbied corrupt Congressmen and Senators to pass an absurd regulation “Reg NMS” that allowed ‘order tagging’ which enabled Citadel et. at. to frontrun retail ‘dumb money’ from Grandma buying Apple stock because she owns an Apple, and reselling it to her for a few cents more. This doesn’t sound like much but when you’re volume is in the billions per day it adds up. The point here is they aren’t adding any value by frontrunning, they are just making her Apple stock purchase a little more expensive, and she’s none the wiser.
More about Makers
Makers create value, makers create things whether it be businesses, housing, art, music, films, cars, or some other objects or ideas. Manufacturers are obviously makers, so are artists. Entrepreneurs can be either or, which is where we have to be careful. Takers use the argument they are creating value because many Entrepreneurs are makers, when in fact they are just stealing and sucking value. Most in Silicon Valley, in the VC world, are makers. Don Valentine was a seed investor in Apple, Atari, Cisco, and Oracle. He founded Sequoia Capital, a group of investors that back startups across a number of verticals. They took their treasure chest and invested in other companies creating more value – clear makers. They did drive the prices of real estate up 1,000% to the point that a shack in San Francisco can be several million dollars, but they invest the majority of their margins into other startups, directly and through their VC funds.
Venture Capitalists are Makers, mostly, and are not “Vulture Capitalists” which is the Wall St. Gordon Gekko Stereotype. The point is there are wide differences in corporate governance, how you treat employees, and what you do to squeeze out a profit. Amazon, for example, is notoriously bad when it comes to how they treat employees. [3] SpaceX is on the opposite end of the spectrum, having higher overall average wages, huge stock compensation plans, and lots of benefits for all workers. They work hard but are treated well. Every company is different. The maker/taker framework is not proposing socialism, communism, and is not anti-corporate AT ALL. The point is that for society to flourish, we need a healthy balance of profit, progress, infrastructure, and growth that is not completely disbalanced. The current system we have is extremely disbalanced and the Elite have no incentives to change. In order to accelerate growth sustainably and permanently, we are proposing a hybrid intelligent system that evolves based on an algorithmic, results based framework we call Intelligentism. [4] More about that later, for now we just wanted to say this article comes from a place of promoting business, trade, abundance, and high growth; not the reverse. The problem currently is that Hegelian Dualism is a total PsyOp; Capitalism vs. Communism, Coke vs. Pepsi, Democrat vs. Republican – they are all the same thing. Did anyone consider the chosen animals for Democrats and Republicans are Donkey’s and Elephants? The Elite are laughing their rich fucking asses off at us, the plebs.
Corporate makers are stewards of the planet that profit in a sustainable way, meaning economically sustainable and scalable, without creating toxic collateral damage. In the industrial world, this would mean manufacturing without creating billions in ecological cleanup. And don’t think that all Software and Computing is 100% sustainable, it all depends on what they do, how they do it, and the value they create or destroy. Microsoft is a taker example a real destroyer of worlds, look how they destroyed Skype – the best communications system in the last decades. The latest issue in Microsoft is they are deleting writers documents based on their new office ‘sign in’ system where you have to be signed in correctly in order to save or open word docs. Incidentally, Microsoft does not develop software, they license software, a key difference. They have acquired more than 15,000 companies and have rebranded under the Microsoft logo. Not only that, Microsoft sucks our time. The developer of the annoying and useless “User Account Control” feature admitted at a conference there was no point to it other than to ‘annoy users.’ Clearly, Microsoft became a Monopoly because they were backed by other Monopolies who would only pass the torch to similarly toxic Monopoly companies who fit into the Taker framework, suitable for the same Elite’s who have owned the world for thousands of years. Perhaps in another article we can do a deep dive into IBM and the Holocaust, [5] when you read this book your opinion of Big Tech will never be the same. In one sentence, IBM facilitated the Nazi War machine including the Holocaust and the articulate extermination of a large undesirable population of Germans Hitler didn’t like including but not limited to Jews, Christians, Homosexuals, Slavs (Russians, Serbians) and many other groups. It simply would not have been possible without IBM and those profits were repatriated through Switzerland to avoid Trading with the Enemy concerns.
AirBNB is a maker example not only because of it’s own growth story but because it has created an entire ecosystem of people making money from their real estate while also offering a hotel alternative to guests. It simply didn’t exist before, and now is an entire industry. The maker/taker example is also elucidated in the book Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant [6] which explains there are 2 kinds of markets; red oceans are where you have many sharks competing for a limited consumer base, such as car dealerships. Blue oceans are where new markets are created and you have no competition, only people using the system to create sub-ecosystems, such as AirBNB, or SpaceX.
Finally, if you want to look at it this way, the difference between a Christian and a Satanist, a Christian will sacrifice himself for his children; a Satanist will sacrifice his children for himself. There are people out there who are pure service to self assholes. The problem with the old system it was run by those Satanist assholes, and the paradigm shift is limiting or deleting their hoarding and stealing, to allow for real growth to flourish unmolested.
NPCs
There is a category that doesn’t fit in either Maker or Taker which we can call NPCs or Non-Player Characters – these are people who have their jobs and do what they are told and basically are on the hamster wheel, running the rat race, having the same hair as the average bear. Mainstreamers. They can be manipulated by Takers or Makers but they aren’t making decisions that impact the totality of the economy or even locally. There is a theory that a decent swath of the human population are actually clones without souls, or who are controlled by the hive mind. Sounds wild, but it fits with a certain category of rigid people like the Flat Earthers who won’t look at any evidence even if it’s in their face (they run away screaming). Anyway, for the purpose of the maker/taker argument, not everybody participates in the economy so we can call them NPCs.
Comparisons of Makers v. Takers
Elon Musk is a Super-Maker, he has not only created massive value for investors, he’s created entire ecosystems, blue oceans, that didn’t exist before (EVs, Rockets, Starlink, etc.). Not only that, he has made other people wealthy. Not only that, SpaceX employees are some of the most well compensated in the VC startup industry, and we don’t mean executives only. Key employees who contribute to their core business get lucrative stock plans that can mean millions in non salary compensation. They earned it. SpaceX not only has created new markets, it has allowed other startups to piggyback on their hardware platform to launch their own multi-billion dollar businesses. The idea here is that this isn’t about being nice, or charity – it’s about running a successful business that creates value and pushes that value outward, which multiplies. Those wealthy billionaires will take most of their winnings and invest in other startups, which will solve other problems. Power Makers solve problems. There are thousands of startups funded in the last 6 months that are solving huge problems – Uber and Airbnb are super successful and they created blue oceans but the problems we are solving now are a magnitude more complex, and that is possible only because of Makers.
Makers can be people, they can also be organizations. The question is all about value creation. Do you create value for others, for society, and do other people reap the benefits of that value creation? Elon Musk’s companies have created more billionaires than any other organization in history. Those billionaires in turn have created their own niche industries.
Most if not all Hedge Funds for example, are takers. Some are investors, but most will flip an investment in a minute for a risk free profit.
George Soros is a Super-Taker, he has setup complex organizations NGOs in order to facilitate his “Revolution Trade” which has the following steps. First, identify a political opposition party and cut a deal with their leader. Give him more money than he knows what to do this, and supply counter insurgents that basically tell the leader what to do and stroke his ego, give him Cocaine. Next, prepare a ‘Doctrine’ they follow, which could be the “Trans” revolution or the “Orange” revolution or whatever suits their purpose at the time. Like a small hole in a dam, pressure builds until (dam breaks) you finance a revolution and depose the democratically elected government, and install your Dingbot Dictator who does what you say. This by itself has huge implications on FX markets, which you can capture because you know when the bombs will be planted weeks before anyone else does. Soros famously ‘broke the Bank of England’ by receiving inside information from his college pal about what the BOE was going to do, and he bet billions of borrowed money in the other direction, making a small fortune.
This is not ‘risk taking’ this is another type of Capitalism, closer to theft of assets – shifting assets to your own balance sheet by manipulating current events in such a way as to have a quick buck from it.
Post revolution, of course, you can refinance the debt which your Dingbot will be drowning in, and open up your friends to lucrative infrastructure projects starting (but never finishing) bridges to nowhere, and studies on irrelevant topics that no one will question, and of course Oil money. This is explained well by John Perkins [2] in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
John is a highly evolved soul and only someone with higher vibration could confess as he has done for the greater good. While millions of people have read his books, the mainstream still doesn’t get the message: Current Events are a key trigger on the masses which are manipulated by large industrial interests, they show 95% of truth, but the 5% they hide is the key to unlocking how the world works. For example, we invaded Iraq to seize “Weapons of Mass Destruction” but they leave out the fact that Don Rumsfeld sold Iraq those weapons in years prior.
In the Ukraine war, they leave out the fact that Zelensky is an unelected dictator financed and cultivated by US interests including the CIA, Dark NGOs, and specifically George Soros. We recently interviewed John Perkins and you can feel his authentic and loving energy when he speaks:
Wall St. the movie is a great example of how most Private Equity deals are takers, and that is in fact their trading plan. The concept is that a company is worth more if you close it and sell the assets, just like a car is worth more if you sold the individual parts. The issue is of course there are no more jobs creating value, no more factories, no more company.. So if we allowed the breakup M&A shops to dominate the economy, they would simply close the doors of the whole system.
Monopolies are takers, and they invest in stagnation of technology vs. innovation while telling you the opposite. Microsoft has acquired the rights to 119,000 patents which they didn’t develop themselves. Look at actions vs. talk – who is creating other industries. Microsoft didn’t create one, but it has cannibalized many, most notably Skype. The point here isn’t to identify particulars of various groups and labeling them, it’s to understand how to identify for the purposes of understanding why being a Maker is so positive, and how being a Taker is so toxic, and so negative.
This framework in it’s simplicity took years for us to digest and output into this article, it will be our last framework article. Next up is a book titled Macro Tech Titan which is a practical use-case of how to start a startup, where to find value for yourself, based on our own startup journey. Once Macro Tech Titan has achieved benchmark success, we’ll release Intelligentism, the book to start paradigm shift to a future of abundance, where time is the only commodity (not energy). The singularity is near and this reality is closer than you think.

Intelligentism is the higher evolution of capitalism. Intelligentism supports the evolution of an economic model of value that supports Trading, Markets, Venture Capital, and human exploration, co-creation, production, creativity, the arts, and civic society.
Money would be intelligent, and managed by an evolutionary algorithm (GA) that would run real-time GA for Fitness, or the global optima.
IBM and the Holocaust is the stunning story of IBM’s strategic alliance with Nazi Germany — beginning in 1933 in the first weeks that Hitler came to power and continuing well into World War II. As the Third Reich embarked upon its plan of conquest and genocide, IBM and its subsidiaries helped create enabling technologies, step-by-step, from the identification and cataloging programs of the 1930s to the selections of the 1940s.
Only after Jews were identified — a massive and complex task that Hitler wanted done immediately — could they be targeted for efficient asset confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, enslaved labor, and, ultimately, annihilation. It was a cross-tabulation and organizational challenge so monumental, it called for a computer. Of course, in the 1930s no computer existed.
But IBM’s Hollerith punch card technology did exist. Aided by the company’s custom-designed and constantly updated Hollerith systems, Hitler was able to automate his persecution of the Jews. Historians have always been amazed at the speed and accuracy with which the Nazis were able to identify and locate European Jewry. Until now, the pieces of this puzzle have never been fully assembled. The fact is, IBM technology was used to organize nearly everything in Germany and then Nazi Europe, from the identification of the Jews in censuses, registrations, and ancestral tracing programs to the running of railroads and organizing of concentration camp slave labor. IBM and its German subsidiary custom-designed complex solutions, one by one, anticipating the Reich’s needs. They did not merely sell the machines and walk away. Instead, IBM leased these machines for high fees and became the sole source of the billions of punch cards Hitler needed. IBM and the Holocaust takes you through the carefully crafted corporate collusion with the Third Reich, as well as the structured deniability of oral agreements, undated letters, and the Geneva intermediaries — all undertaken as the newspapers blazed with accounts of persecution and destruction. Just as compelling is the human drama of one of our century’s greatest minds, IBM founder Thomas Watson, who cooperated with the Nazis for the sake of profit. Only with IBM’s technologic assistance was Hitler able to achieve the staggering numbers of the Holocaust. Edwin Black has now uncovered one of the last great mysteries of Germany’s war against the Jews — how did Hitler get the names?
