Today’s world has boundaries between countries, humanity’s objective purpose as a species is to enhance co-operation and evolve. One hand there are people who brute force their way to make humans an interplanetary species, on the other hand there are people who politicize every moment and try to build a narrative to gain their attention. Yes the world of today is directed based on the ability of a few people who seek to gain power. I believe that it’s rare for one person to direct where humanity has to move towards. And it’s a culmination of moments that lead to someone coming to power , hence it maybe random. The idea of one person directing these random events sounds scary.
The old civilizations do hold the same sway like we read them during our history classes in school. The unification of nations is based on ideas primarily related to geography and religion. The old powers like the british did try to alter these and rule the world. The new power seeks to do the same thing. The internet did try to close these boundaries and enhance co-operation amongst nations. I do believe that humans innately want to be good actors but they often get influenced by what is happening around them. This leads to wars, this leads to stability getting disturbed. Unless someone tries to brute force co-operation.
From a financial perspective i do see more volatility in the coming days, excellent promoters will always find a way to generate the best return on capital in bad times. These companies will be available cheaply during such times as most of us invest based on the emotions of the environment. While investing, it is futile to underestimate the ability of the good promoter. The primary ability of an investor should be to keep the mind open.
