Premise 1: Wealth depends on systems (supply chains, financial networks, stable climate, functioning ecosystems).
Premise 2: These systems are planetary-scale and interconnected - they can’t be privatized, relocated, or escaped.
Premise 3: Planetary systems are now destabilizing due to human impact.
Conclusion: The only way to protect wealth is to protect the planetary systems wealth depends on.
The Kicker: You can’t protect planetary systems for yourself alone. Atmospheric chemistry doesn’t respect property lines. Ocean currents don’t check bank balances. Soil microbes don’t care about your net worth.
Therefore: The mathematically optimal wealth strategy is investing in everyone’s resilience, because that’s what maintains the systems your wealth actually runs on.
The Reframe:
• Old “Smart Money”: Extract maximum value, build walls
• New Smart Money: Invest in system health, build bridges
Bottom Line: In a planetary-scale crisis, there’s no such thing as private safety. The smartest money realizes that everyone else’s thriving is your portfolio protection.
Smart money be smart: Stop burning down the building you live in. Start investing in the foundation that holds everything up.
The physics is non-negotiable. The logic is bulletproof. The transition is inevitable.
