Corporate Greed

In the temple of the money lenders, it will all come crashing down. Greed seeds its own destruction, but because the cost can be displaced—aspirationally deferred onto others—it masquerades as virtue.

Frank Zappa saw the form early. On CNN’s Crossfire in March 1986, he warned of a coming fascist theocracy in America. What he offered was not prophecy but diagnosis: a recognition of the systemic rhythm by which belief and greed converge into control, each justifying the other as the loop tightens.

Corporate capitalism now consumes its host. The global economy externalises entropy until there are no boundaries left to absorb it. What remains is a minimal, self-consistent system, stabilised not by harmony but by contradiction—a coherence emergent through recursive self-negation, an attractor sustained only by devouring the future.
