Fragmented Society: The Elites Don’t Think Like You, and the Elites of the Elites Don’t Think Like Them

Society is not one shared reality. It is a stack of disconnected mindsets layered by survival, class, power, wealth, ideology, and future access. The average person thinks about kids, bills, work, retirement, and survival. The elite think in systems, leverage, insulation, manipulation, and continuity of power. The elites above them think past humanity entirely. That fracture explains why the modern world feels insane: most people are arguing from human-centered values while the people shaping the system are not operating from the same mental map.
