The following is a recovered entry from our previous blog.
Have you always known there was something wrong with the world? The 2008 housing crisis and the ongoing education bubble, 9/11, BlackRock… We aren’t here to drop redpills but if you are the kind of person who prefers to see things for what they are than to indulge in fantasy, chances are you have asked yourself some tough questions about the fundamental nature of society and humanity itself. If not, there isn’t much we can do for you. But if so, read on. You may already know of some ways you can push back and free yourself from the fake economy that is forced upon us. You may have already realized that as we put it, the world runs on bullshit! You may already practice what we call countereconomics.
In 2018, the last iteration of our company began with the vision of taking some of the bullshit out of our day to day transactions. Our goal was to make life easier for everyone so that our modern services work better. We were a ragtag group of entrepreneurs and traders who each brought their unique experience and expertise to the table. We built a comprehensive strategy for consistent self-improvement for businesses big and small, making extensive use of internal auditing to identify problems and inefficiencies. In doing so, we identified a number of ways that most people are not being properly educated for the workforce in conventional education. Many employers are taking advantage of unscrupulous young people, effectively forcing the emerging professional class to accept greatly diminished living standards. We wanted to teach practitioners and small business owners the often neglected but simple truths of economics as well as the many ways that they are getting screwed from the top down in Fraudworld. The unfortunate truth is that we, as a society as a whole, have allowed this to happen to us, even if largely out of ignorance. The good news is that there is much of it that can be undone. Of course, a lot of our wisdom comes from classic self help books and other such bullshit – which we will reference and catalogue for all of our program participants!
In addition to operations optimization, branding/marketing, and entrepreneurship courses, our company performed extensive research on the causes of problems and chargebacks with digital business. We can break down the specifics in future posts, but the driving point that connected all of our research is that the more parties are involved, the more opportunity there is for error or fraud. Many of the third-party services we have come to rely on for the sake of convenience are still experiencing growing pains, which result in hiccups. It’s like a giant game of telephone. What’s worse is that the messages are being delivered by computers who don’t understand the messages.
For example, food ordered for delivery from a restaurant directly is only susceptible to error on the part of the restaurant. Food ordered from a third-party app is susceptible to error on the part of the app and delivery driver as well as the restaurant. Let’s not forget that these delivery drivers get hungry and sometimes dip into their orders. Additionally, there are ways that interacting with these apps and their automated communications can increase error and “sticky fingers” in the restaurant staff. These reasons are broken down in other materials. The world has outpaced our natural means of communication, for better or for worse. We like business when it is a simple voluntary transaction between two parties which requires only one document at most.
We live in a Fraudworld because the fraud pervades every aspect of life and it goes in every direction. The state frauds the citizen and the citizen frauds the state. The company frauds the employee and the customer, and the customer and the employee fraud the company. Faceless and often automated digital communications make it even easier. With some basic training in analytics and the concepts of social engineering, any practitioner can become adept at identifying and preventing common scams. More importantly, they can use this wisdom to better navigate our ever-improving progressive culture. Remember: nearly everything about you is a data point to someone.
Fraudworld is a play on the term Clownworld, which if you’ve made it this far, you probably are familiar with even if you didn’t know the word for it until now. We think of it in a way as a defense against Clownword; a way that individuals can protect themselves and take counter measures. When you hear us use “Fraudworld” as a verb, it can refer to a wide range of things from the criminal to the genuinely innovative. It is very important that one knows the difference. The dark arts can be used for good or for evil. There’s a lot of meaning behind that silly T-shirt you’re wearing; that you’ve perhaps ordered for your entire family.
After an ill-fated trip to Vegas (which we assure you involved a great deal of research into Fraudworld, particularly within the realm of hospitality) and some drama between our partners involving an e-girl, our company which was then called Lioness LTD, was discontinued in 2021. Our buddy fed the scorpions and was never able to recover. In 2022, we’re coming back strong with brand new marketing and art departments and a much more disciplined policy towards alcohol. We are keeping the Fraudworld theme alive because it applies to the economy now more than ever. After all, we did just allow fake news about the China Virus to shut down the world twice. All the while, as I’m sure you know, the billionaires have gotten richer and small business owners have gotten shafted. We also believe it is important that you join us in this odyssey of truth and wealth.
Welcome to Fraudworld. Stick around for a while it will start to make sense. Don’t be afraid to poke and prod around some of the supposedly ironclad structures around you. There’s less to lose than you think, and you will always learn something that you can apply in your career later on!
