Watching this from the Japanese countryside.

Johnny's conclusion that "the system is working exactly as designed" is chilling but accurate. From a systems engineering perspective, this is a classic "positive feedback loop" without a dampener. In any physical machine, this leads to thermal runaway and eventual breakdown.

It reminds me of the concept of "Shinise" (long-established companies) here in Japan. We have businesses that have run for 500 or 1000 years. Their secret? They intentionally rejected the "Scale or Die" algorithm. They optimized for "Duration" instead of "Growth."

The billionaire "fortress" described in the video is the end state of an overheating CPU. Maybe the patch we need isn't just a wealth tax, but a cultural OS update that values "Cooling Down" (Sustainability/Tradition) over "Heating Up" (Unchecked Scaling).
