Fractal Chain

Introduction to "Fractal Chain" From 1971 to 2023, the tragedy of globalization spanned half a century. Three orphans crushed by the times finally weaved the precise cage that trapped the world with their own hands. Vijay, a poor man in India, witnessed the tragic death of his relatives in starvation, climbed to the top with ruthlessness and betrayal, and used data and surveillance to build an efficient and stable empire; Jack, a boy from the Rust Belt of the United States, grew up in unemployment and poverty, and used technology to quantify his faith and package salvation into a calculable and sellable commodity; Amir, a boy from the holy city of Arabia, has been proficient in scripture annotations and rules games since childhood, and uses religious legitimacy as capital to provide divine defense for all plunder and order. The three people had no intersection at all, but they were tied up layer by layer by oil, debt, the Internet and the financial crisis. From victims, they transformed into rule makers, vested interests and rationalizers. They shook hands in Dubai and conspired in Davos. They used capital, technology and ideology to twist into an invisible chain, interlocking and self-replicating, spreading around the world like a fractal. The system operates efficiently, and resistance continues to subside. Everyone seeks stability in the cage, but no one remembers that the starting point of the cage is hunger. They were once abandoned by the times, and eventually became the times themselves; they once longed to be saved, but finally killed the possibility of salvation with their own hands. This is not the fall of a person, but the closed loop of an era - when the hungry are finally full, they will build higher walls; when the victims sit in high positions, they will maintain the old order that hurts them. And that fractal chain called "efficiency" is still tightening automatically.
