We Become Millionaires
Chapter Four
"That's the technology paradox: Businesses can thrive at the very moment when their prices are falling the fastest. 'The only thing that matters is if the exponential growth of your market is faster than the exponential decline of your prices,' says George M.C. Fisher, chairman and CEO of Eastman Kodak Co. The challenge is enormous, he says. 'Companies have to project out: How will I be competitive in a world (in which) technology will be virtually free?'
"The new rules require more than ingenuity, agility, and speed. They call for redefining value in an economy where the cost of raw technology is plummeting toward zero. Sooner or later, this plunge will obliterate the worth of almost any specific piece of hardware or software. Then, value will be in establishing a long-term relationship with a customer -- even if it means giving the first generation of a product away."

"The Technology Paradox: How
Companies Thrive As Prices Dive"
Many new technologies bombarded my thoughts as a new Vision came to me: A great competitive storm of super rapidly advancing new technologies caused consumer prices to fall like rain.
At the end of the 20th century, inexpensive computer-related products contained computing power that would have cost millions the decade before. After 2001, those famous free-falling prices of computers spread beyond the computer industry across many old industries and all new industries, reaching nearly all consumer products. Then, even modest paychecks and savings were worth a fortune.
Well, you got rich, without lifting a finger, after 2001. Many people even retired and got rich! The computer revolution was a forerunner to a Technological Revolution that drove prices toward zero and values toward infinity in most industries.
This Second Vision showed me that the turn of the millennium pushed us over the critical point; super entrepreneurs catapulted the new technologies as prices everywhere free-fell. Buying power soared on average a hundred times and, in the case of technologically intensive products, up to thousands of times or more like the computers. ...Behold the get-rich era in which geniuses of society teamed up with super technologies and made us live like millionaires!
As we moved into the 21st century, people began to wonder, where would the Technological Revolution take us? America's richest man and other powerful people predicted mind-boggling technological transformations after the turn of the millennium culminating in a distance-free world. They were right: the walls of distance came down as digitized information traveling through broadband fiber-optic cables and between personal satellite dishes let us work, school, shop, play, even love anywhere in the world, anytime, regardless where we lived. But those visionaries had limited insight into what really happened. They did not predict the enormous wealth.
You see, they did not know that mankind was about to leave behind his bicameral mentalities and end the hierarchy of authorities ruling over him. America's hottest mega trend to get big government out of our lives built a lot of momentum...and a very large potential payoff. The most powerful and fast-moving mega trends throughout history were economically driven. As this monetarily motivated mega trend grew, 20th-century big government could not hold, and it eventually popped off society like a champagne cork. Suddenly, millions of super entrepreneurs spouted forth, out of nowhere. They were the first to jump into the Neothink mentality. During my Vision, those millions of freed super entrepreneurs caused a catalytic progression of tomorrow's super technologies, which caused a catalytic explosion of societal buying power. Of course, by shedding our mysticisms and bicameral mentalities, civilization was experiencing climax with the next evolution of man.
This country took a giant leap. The era of inexpensive super technologies now showered upon us. The Internet, cost-collapsing telecommunications, fiber optics, digitized information, super-powered personal computers, Web TV...these were only a few small clouds before a giant storm of competitive geniuses and their super companies. They feverishly competed day and night against each other to bring us huge values for just a few dollars. After 2001, the technological storm began, and affordable super technologies showered upon us day after day making life a joy.
Our buying power never touched the ground again once lifted by the great technological twister. Our fundamental code of living had changed; our buying power kept soaring until we lived like millionaires. The only thing that delayed the Neo-Tech World and our millionaire status was big government, a vestige of our bicameral minds.
As we ended the 20th century, most industries and their technologies were terribly burdened by 20th-century big government -- by regulation, legislation, litigation, taxes, and their own political businessmen who looked for political favors instead of market competition. Most industries and technologies had long been politicized; the new and fresh computer/cyberspace industry had not. Therefore, the geniuses in the computer field easily rose and some evolved into Neothink. And that was the difference between prices miraculously racing toward zero like the computers versus the way everything else was as we ended the 20th century.
Despite 20th-century big government, however, Neo-Tech persistently filtered into related industries during the final few years of the 20th century. The boundaries between computers, telephones, and televisions, for example, were blurring. As Neo-Tech spread into those sibling industries, the price to communicate collapsed as the whole world fell into our laps. The communications revolution brought businesses such efficiencies that prices of several products went into computerlike free-falls. That preview to the Technological Revolution happened around the turn of millennium. Now, as we moved into the next millennium, would governments let us open the hatch? Would governments free the entrepreneurs to make the jump into Neothink and make us rich with their super rapidly advancing new technologies?
Here were three images that flashed before me in my Second Vision:
My Second Vision showed me technologies in all areas of life free to race ahead like the computers. In that Neo-Tech or New Technology society of radically advancing technologies, living costs were driven down to fractions like the computers. Buying power in all areas of life multiplied a hundred times or more. Ordinary people lived like millionaires in custom homes, drove luxury cars, and vacationed all over the world first class.
One man had the power to quickly bring us into that Golden Neo-Tech World where poverty and suffering no longer existed and Americans lived in luxury. That man was the President of the United States. In the 20th century, no President would initiate the millionaire phenomenon because no career politician would slash his own base of power. But now, we have seen a sample of the great prosperity:
Twentieth-century big government -- career politicians and bureaucrats politicizing our lives, ruling over us, playing God with our lives -- not only held back the Technological Revolution and tightened the seams that restricted Neo-Tech as we approached the end of this millennium, but by doing so, also held back the job revolution and blocked a hundred million super entrepreneurs (explained in the Fourth Vision). The catalytic reaction when big government disintegrated after 2001, when Neo-Tech burst out everywhere and mixed with millions of unleashed super entrepreneurs using Neothink, surpassed anything ever contemplated in economic think tanks. The overwhelming energy and creativity pumped into super technologies conceived new societal prosperity that went way off the charts. Ordinary people finally experienced the Neo-Tech World's Second Ultimate Gift: enormous wealth.
Looking back from my Visions over the last decade of the 20th century, the federal government collected an average of 1.3 trillion dollars annually in taxes. Congress spent an average of 1.5 trillion dollars (rounding off). That spending split into three categories (all multi-year averages):
After 2001, looking back from the new code at the old code, we knew what defense spending and interest on the national debt were for. But, no longer plagued by mysticism, bicameral mentalities, or the desire for external "authorities" telling us what to do or how to live, we had a hard time understanding the "public good" or how it helped the people. For one thing, tomorrow we knew the best way to help the people was to release the geniuses to make the people rich: to make their buying power go so high they lived like millionaires.
After 2001, the make-the-people-millionaires program on the preceding charts freed technologies and freed super entrepreneurs to drive the new technologies into computerlike revolutions in every direction. A President whose career was not politics turned inward and slashed his own base of political power -- regulatory power -- to free the technologies and the super entrepreneurs.
After experiencing being wealthy tomorrow, the debilitating past became so clear. In the 20th century, to be the President of the United States was to be a career politician. Career politicians always built their base of political power. The President's base of political power so happened to be regulatory power -- the regulatory bureaucracies, commissions, and agencies beneath him (see previous flowcharts). That was why 20th-century Presidents budgeted massive spending toward their so-called "noble" causes -- social and regulatory programs supposedly "for the public good". You see, those massive spending programs, those seemingly "good intentions", all came hand in hand with massive regulations. Unbeknownst to you back then, but so obvious after 2001, those massive regulations actually blocked the Neo-Tech World in which you would live like a millionaire...all so the President could control more political power.
We looked back in disgust at our 20th-century Presidents. We realized their debilitating 20th-century regulations built their structure of power as the boss of all regulatory bureaucracies. Those so-called "for-the-people" social and regulatory programs were illusions that actually hurt the people while building the Presidents' popularity, ego, and power. In my Second Vision, I was amazed that the "great" presidents of the 20th century who started "noble" social programs for the "public good" were looked back on as the worst malefactors of society.
The Biggest Illusion
People soured as they reviewed 20th-century history, especially looking back at the biggest illusion -- the most accepted "higher"-cause, social program of the 20th-century so-called "for the public good" -- approaching an annual trillion dollars in entitlements known collectively as social welfare. The social welfare programs accounted for over half of all government spending, which was 1/4 of the Gross Domestic Product during the last decade of the 20th-century! That massive spending program so-called "for the public good" in turn gave the government absolute power to regulate the economy and rule over our money.
Controlling 1/4 of our Gross Domestic Product meant the government had its regulatory web all throughout our economy -- in every business, every consumer product, every job, every profession, including every hospital, every doctor's office, every research and development program, every discovery, every invention, every paycheck, every person's wallet.
Looking back in disbelief, the people after 2001 were aghast that politicians and bureaucrats ruled over our money and our lives. Their archaic regulatory web throughout the economy trapped and paralyzed 20th-century new technologies. Without super rapidly advancing technologies in the 20th century, costs did not drop to fractions so that we could live like millionaires -- the way we were meant to live. Instead, costs went up and up and up for the entire 20th century. We just could not believe it, looking back: prices went up for 100 years! The elderly who lived on set pensions and measly entitlements got trapped in the dungeons of society as long-term inflation ate up everything they had. We felt so sorry for our parents and grandparents.
Of course, after 2001, we finally knew that the only way to truly help the needy and everyone else was to send the economy through a buying-power metamorphosis like the computer industry's buying-power metamorphosis. The Second Vision showed me the needy and everyone else's limited buying power leapt a hundred times when the Neo-Tech President's protection-only budget swished away the regulatory web throughout the economy. His budget swished away those "good intentions", like social welfare, that wove regulatory control throughout every nook and crevice of the economy. When that 20th-century regulatory web was gone, 21st-century technology was free and took off like the computers had, but in every direction...and so did everyone's buying power.[ 5 ]
The World's Greatest Irony
The world's greatest irony was: the way to best help the people was to cross out the government's programs to "help" the people and the massive regulations that came with those "well intentioned" massive spending programs that ruled over us. Indeed, ending the noble-sounding "higher" causes, those programs for the "public good", ultimately ended the hierarchy of authorities ruling over us.
My Second Vision showed me a fabulous world without those regulatory webs of "good intentions" so-called "for the public good"; the needy and everyone else lived like kings as unburdened technology soared, costs plunged, and everyone's buying power multiplied on average a hundred times. Everyone became rich.
In short, when our bicameral mentalities and acceptance of external "authorities" subsided, civilization leapt into the Golden Neo-Tech World, and the geniuses evolved first into Neothink making everyone rich. Soon thereafter, all mankind joined the geniuses and evolved into Neothink. World prosperity was beyond comprehension in today's terms.
I saw the last of the politically invested Presidents. Of course, he did not pursue the make-the-people-millionaires program that slashed regulatory power. Whether from the left or the right, the 20th-century politically invested Presidents pursued programs for the so-called "public good" that strengthened regulatory power -- their base of political power.
The first politically free Neo-Tech President, free of a career in politics, gladly slashed his own base of power; he slashed regulations caused by government programs for the "public good". The "public good" was just a clever way of saying "politicize society, rule over the people, and play God with their money and lives." The "public good" was the neocheaters' prime mystical illusion that manipulated our bicameral longing for "higher" causes.
After 2001, we lost our bicameral longings and, like coming out of a spell, shook our heads and said "enough" to the trillion dollars budgeted to the "public good".
Ending The Spell
The first Neo-Tech President ended politicization of our lives and ended government on the offense -- ended external "authorities" budgeting their programs for the "public good". The Neo-Tech President reduced government to self-defense protection only, a government of defense without external "authorities" telling us how to live, which freed the geniuses of society.
They, in turn, whirled into an aggressive storm of Neothink competition to serve up our every need. In doing so, they lifted technology into new dimensions, drove down living and health costs to fractions, and brought us spectacular new values and entertainment. The computer revolution of the 20th century seemed like a little white cloud next to the storm of new technologies raining on us after 2001.
As you know, after World War II, we looked back at the holocaust in disbelief. After 2001, our children and grandchildren looked back at the old code's hierarchy of authorities ruling over us in disbelief. In both cases, millions of innocent people died at the hands of politicians ruling over us. Everyone in the new code knew the only reason the make-the-people-disease-free and the make-the-people-millionaires programs never happened in the 20th century was no puzzle: simply put, no politician wanted to slash his own base of political power. Twentieth-century Presidents knew only how to build their base of power -- regulatory power. Therefore, we never had the slightest clue of the phenomenal wealth and health available to us by reducing to a protection-only government of defense.
Consider that Einstein's Theory of Relativity (E=mc 2 ) went years unrecognized. Then, a natural phenomenon occurred -- a solar eclipse -- that demonstrated his theory. Instantly, Einstein and his Theory of General Relativity were a world sensation accepted by everyone. With that solar-eclipse demonstration, the world quickly moved beyond Newtonian physics to Einsteinian physics.
During my Second Vision, I saw a similar phenomenon in politics: The Neo-Tech President's first budget was that "solar eclipse" as he blacked out the blinding, solar spending programs toward the "public good". Although Congress did everything possible to undo his budget, the unmistakable demonstration of falling taxes and rising buying power still occurred, no matter how diluted. Like Einstein's Relativity, instantly the make-the-people-millionaires program of slashing regulations was a world sensation accepted by everyone. With that "solar-eclipse" demonstration, world politics quickly moved beyond career politicians to market businessmen...into the new political paradigm and 21st-century get-the-people-rich government.
Of course, the Neo-Tech President's protection-only budget was a shock to Congress as he cut one trillion dollars -- cut out all spending toward the "public good"...cut out politicizing our lives and ruling over us. Of course, that cut out the ruling class, which cut out the political power of the career politicians. Thus, Congress did not accept his budget because those massive government programs so-called "for the public good" came hand in hand not only with massive regulation, but massive legislation as well -- our Congressmen's and Senators' base of power. Those career politicians in Congress did not want to slash their base of power -- legislative power -- any more than any previous career politician in the White House wanted to slash his base of power -- regulatory power. They did not want to give up their ruling class.
Yet, Congress had no choice but to give in to some extent because once the people elected a Neo-Tech President, they realized this route to rapid riches and stood behind him. So the small ruling-class clique, 435 Congressmen and 100 Senators, had to abandon their first thought of impeachment and work with his budget. With their very own constituents cheering for the make-the-people-millionaires program, Congress was not able to totally undo his budget. Of course, Congress radically changed the budget, but the President loudly pointed his finger at the culprits for the whole country to see. Thus, Congress backed off and some of what he submitted took hold.
Bingo. People's taxes dropped immediately. But more importantly, their buying power started going up almost immediately. For the first time, exciting practical results outperformed political rhetoric. After that "solar-eclipse" demonstration, the Neo-Tech President then told America, loud and clear: "Imagine what could happen to your buying power if my budget passed in its entirety. You could all be rich before my term is over!" With that realization, the people unanimously implemented a nationwide change called The Great Replacement Program: Like a big wave at high tide due to the Solar Eclipse Budget, the Great Replacement Program washed over the country; it washed away the politicians and their ruling class. Voters nominated and voted into Congress only business owners and other market-driven businessmen and women, knowing they would pass the Neo-Tech President's Solar-Eclipse, Protection-Only Budget in its entirety.1
Those, original business owners and market-driven businesspeople never cared about building political power. Like the Neo-Tech President, they were not politicians. Instead, they wanted a free and booming economy. So, to that end, they were more than happy to eclipse their own structures of political power. They were more than happy to eclipse all government "good intentions" -- that is, all those massive social and regulatory programs "for the public good" that were really Trojan Horses carrying massive regulations and legislation. Those business owners passed the Neo-Tech President's budget in its entirety to eliminate those Trojan Horses. Nothing could stop the changes once the new code had started. The ruling class vanished.
The Solar-Eclipse Budget, a protection-only budget, blacked out all social and regulatory programs -- one trillion dollars from the budget. Yes, everyone's taxes immediately fell more than half. But far more important, the regulatory/legislative web throughout the economy simply got washed away, which immediately set free the aggressive entrepreneurs (society's geniuses) and advancing new technologies. Neothink drove forth Neo-Tech. Industry after industry went through unprecedented buying-power metamorphoses. Computerlike revolutions were everywhere, even in the housing industry, bringing us inexpensive beautiful new homes.
Indeed, removing the many regulations on that industry and its many suppliers and support industries, not to mention removing the bulk of taxes, immediately allowed general contractors to build bigger, better, and more beautiful homes for a lot less money. And that improvement was immediate, before the technological breakthroughs kicked in! Wealth and health quickly saturated every city, town, and household in America.
Wealth like that in my Second Vision had never been seen because the human race had always been under the old code, dominated by bicameral mentalities and led by a ruling class of politicians and bureaucrats. Of course, politicians in the 20th century built their careers through regulatory and legislative power, which blocked technologies and entrepreneurs from radically soaring ahead...and also blocked our evolution into Neothink. Thus, under that aggressive government on the offense, your buying power always decreased instead of increasing 100 times or more.
The Great Replacement Program led by a Neo-Tech President and his Solar-Eclipse Budget rescued us and made us a hundred times richer during our lifetimes. And that great wealth was our Second Ultimate Gift, finally enjoyed by all men, women, and children under the new code of Neothink mentalities led by geniuses of society.
