Requiring AI firms to construct generation capacity respects this layered authority rather than overriding it.

VENEZUELA'S REAL OIL CRISIS. Why the World’s Largest Reserves Became an Economic Dead End
Venezuela’s oil crisis is not the result of a single policy failure or sanctions alone. It is the outcome of geology, economics, and governance colliding. Venezuela possesses enormous oil resources, but they are overwhelmingly extra-heavy, capital-intensive, and unforgiving of mismanagement. When the country nationalized its oil sector and expelled international oil companies (IOCs), it removed the only actors capable of operating such assets sustainably.

The Restless Generation: St. Augustine’s City of God and the Search for Meaning in a Confused Age
Augustine never asked his readers to withdraw from the world. Christians, he wrote, must live as “resident aliens,” working for the peace of the earthly city while belonging to the heavenly one. This dual citizenship requires discernment: to engage without surrender, to love without idolizing.

The Fantasy That Devoured Reality: Jung, Technocracy, and the Gamified Mind
The tragedy of our age is not that we dream, but that we mistake our dreams for the world. The technocrat seeks to perfect the cosmos through code; the digital socialist seeks to redeem it through policy.

Luxury communism assumes automation will take over all “dirty jobs.” But in reality, many such jobs are resistant to full automation (nursing, sanitation, construction, logistics).
Who then does them? Likely:
The Unintelligent / Non-compliant: Those who don’t “buy into the ideology” may be funneled into menial work.
Outcasts or Illegals: Migrants, criminals, or people without full citizenship rights may be conscripted into the “service class.”
