X looks like a crossroads, where deals with the devil are traditionally made

As soon as our good Elon, or Oak Tree in Yiddish, announced the name change of Twitter to X I was kind of thrown off as to why. Looking deeper into his history and admitted motivations to centralize commerce and invention, X looked more like a central node or choke point, to be easily exploited by the one in control of it.

The folklore of the crossroads goes back through antiquity, considered a place where the natural and supernatural merge, allowing spirits and demons to exist on the same plane as physical beings.

The Faustian deal was made at a crossroads, as well as Robert Johnson selling his soul in exchange for mastery of the guitar.

The Top 1% are no more human than the Bottom 3%.

I tend to agree. They are human. But they are terrible humans. They are parasites.

What I don’t agree with is the idea that George Soros and David Rothchild drink blood with Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. They do evil shit, but they are not cartoon villains. That is what you need to believe to explain why they do what they do. But their evil is usually of a more boring and mundane variety. The world is not a hollywood movie.
