The Pillars of Power - An Introduction
An Introduction to AquaVis & Our Newsletter
Welcome to the Pillars of Power — a newsletter that connects the dots across Technology, Energy & Money.
In studying history, we recognized the Pillars of geostrategic Power are consistent across time:
Asymmetric Technology
Powered by low-cost and abundant Energy
Financed by fully-controlled Money
The hegemon(s) who leads in these three key spheres controls the World Order.
The collective, self-reinforcing Pillars of Power have stood the test of time. And they provide a consistent framework for understanding the World and the decisions that shape it — with the lust for Power as an underlying driving force.
Never has this been more relevant than today. The World System is in flux. We are at the confluence of multiple converging cycles (Backdrop) driving an acceleration in change, noise, and disorder.
Don’t let this chaos overwhelm you. Change provides opportunity for the prepared.
We help order the perceived chaos in the external world — acting as a filter so you can focus on what matters.
Order your Mind. Harness your Money. Shape your Future.
