The Time Just Before the Time After This

The "Oh-Be-a-Fine-Girl" network doesn't need a currency the same way states or populations do. If the US$ is displaced, let's assume that the OBAFG aka Lords of the Exchange (Albanese's "Orgy of Power") will simply migrate to whatever infrastructure of settlement, clearance, and asset valuation best preserves their mobility and control.

To make this concrete, let's break their logic into its moving parts.

What do "money" mean, hardly-neither? This emergent power shouldn't be treated as a national bloc but as a transnational asset‑owning class whose power comes from control over flows—capital, logistics, data, and political compliance. In this worldview money is not a sovereign currency but a platform for moving and multiplying capital. The Lords' priority is frictionless convertibility, not loyalty to any unit of account. A currency is just a temporary operating system for global finance. Frame the decline of the U.S. not as a crisis but as a planned transition toward a new global architecture.

This logic implies three interchangeable layers the Lords could use as “money” once the dollar loses primacy. Layer #1 is a basket‑based or multipolar reserve system. This is the BRICS+ / Global South shift.  In this telling, the Power Orgy is already repositioning toward yuan‑anchored settlement, BRICS commodity‑backed baskets, regional reserve currencies, and sovereign wealth fund cross‑holdings. This is part of a “replacement of America” agenda, hell, post-Grotio-Westphalian.

#2. Digital settlement rails controlled by global finance. Highlight the role of central bank digital currencies, private digital payment networks, an' uh tokenized assets and programmable settlement. Gaza, Covid, and other crises are seen as testbeds for behavioral and infrastructural control—implying that digital rails are the Lords' preferred future medium. From this perspective, the “currency” is less important than the platform that enforces compliance and tracks flows.

Layer #3. Financialized assets themselves as money. The Lords already treat:

- equities  

- bonds  

- derivatives  

- private equity stakes  

- infrastructure concessions  

as the real stores of value. Currencies are just interfaces for pricing and transferring these assets. So if the dollar falls, the Orgy simply reprices its portfolios in whatever unit becomes dominant. The underlying power structure—ownership of globalized capital—remains intact.

Why the Orgy is indifferent to the dollar’s fate - three themes recur:

- The Orgy is post‑national.  

- The U.S. dollar is a tool, not a pillar of their identity.  

- The transition away from the U.S. is deliberate, not disruptive.

This means the Orgy doesn’t “choose” a new money so much as follow liquidity to wherever capital can be most efficiently deployed and protected. It's a floating crap game supplemented by pre-teen prostitutes (the less willing, the more exciting).

It is ultimately about control over infrastructure, not currency.  

If the Orgy controls:

- the payment rails  

- the clearinghouses  

- the logistics chokepoints  

- the data centers  

- the investment vehicles  

then the unit of account is almost irrelevant.  

Money becomes whatever the infrastructure recognizes.

They mesh **imperfectly but inevitably**—because the tech‑bro platforms were never designed to serve the OCGFC’s grand design, yet they accidentally built the very *infrastructure* that the OCGFC needs to complete it. The tension between those two facts is the heart of the story.

The techboyz' role in the long arc of this Grand Design. Three structural alignments make the platforms indispensable to the Orgy’s project, even if the founders’ culture is alien to finance. They built the global nervous system the Orgy lacked. The vengeful nerds' platforms created:

- real‑time behavioral telemetry  

- identity‑linked user graphs  

- global logistics and cloud infrastructure  

- programmable payment rails  

- AI‑driven prediction and optimization  

These are the exact capabilities the Orgy needs to move from financial power to governance power. Finance alone cannot see, model, or steer populations; platforms can. They operate above states, just like the Orgy. Both systems are:

- supranational  

- regulatory‑arbitrage‑native  

- dependent on global liquidity  

- hostile to territorial constraints  

This shared post‑sovereign posture makes them natural partners in a world where nation‑states are hollowing around platform cores.

They normalize the shift from “currency” to “infrastructure”. Platforms don’t care what the unit of account is. They care about:

- settlement speed  

- user lock‑in  

- data exhaust  

- programmable compliance  

This dovetails perfectly with an Exchange that is preparing for a post‑dollar world where the rail matters more than the currency riding on it.

Where these platforms don’t mesh cleanly: the friction is cultural, temporal, and political. The founders want autonomy; the Orgy wants absorption. Tech founders imagine themselves as sovereign actors. They aspire to be. The Orgy sees them as:

- useful innovators  

- temporary stewards of infrastructure  

- ultimately replaceable  

This is why the Orgy prefers platform megafunds—they financialize the platforms and pull them into the long‑horizon logic of global capital. Platforms move fast; the Orgy moves on civilizational time. The Orgy’s project is measured in decades.  

Platforms are built on:

- quarterly earnings (used to be annual)

- hypergrowth  

- founder charisma  

- product cycles  

This mismatch creates periodic conflict—until the platforms mature, stagnate, and become predictable enough for the Orgy to fold them in.

Platforms are public-facing; the Orgy is invisible. Platforms must maintain:

- user trust  

- regulatory compliance  

- brand identity  

The Orgy prefers opacity. This creates a structural tension: platforms must appear benevolent while enabling systems of control that are not.

The platforms as the Orgy’s missing technostructure. This is the part that most resembles my earlier framing: the Orgy lacked a planning organ. Finance can allocate but not coordinate. States can coordinate but not globally. Platforms—especially AI‑driven ones—fill that gap.

In this sense:

- Finance provides capital.  

- Platforms provide cognition.  

- States provide legitimacy.  

The Orgy’s “grand design” is the fusion of these three into a post‑national operating system. Platforms are the cognitive cortex of that system.

If the dollar loses primacy, the Orgy needs:

- programmable settlement  

- global identity  

- behavioral compliance  

- asset tokenization  

- cross‑border liquidity  

Platforms already built all of this. They are the rails on which the next monetary regime will run—whether the unit is a BRICS basket, a digital yuan, a CBDC mesh, or tokenized assets. The Orgy doesn’t need the platforms to share its ideology. It only needs them to keep building the rails.

A question I ain't got no answer to yet. ¿Quién es más macho? Should I focus on how platforms get absorbed into the Orgy’s architecture, or in how platforms might resist and become a rival sovereign bloc in their own right? Remember Gamergate.
