All over my town of West Chester, Ohio, there are signs everywhere indicating that new management is running a business. Most of them are restaurants and bars, but they have been unusually placed in front of all kinds of companies, even manufacturing facilities. Which was another thing I said would happen as a result of the catastrophic stupidity of COVID, where a global Marxist strategy of micromanaging how people were going to do work was imposed on all of us through the ridiculous means of a doctor’s office. White coat losers in the form of health professionals were trying to scare us into open socialism, and it was always going to be a disaster. And now, five years later, the world has turned to populism, specifically to capitalism. If you really want to get philosophical about the Trump administration at this particular time, it’s because the human race knows what’s good for it, and all forms of Marxism have not been it. There was never a plan for Trump to be in any authority position. The plan was to take over mass society and make people afraid of a virus that was made in a Chinese lab, by people who wanted to make a bioweapon to use against the world, to steal elections, and take over economies. People saw this happening, and they put Trump in office as the rest of the world has been supporting their own version of pro-capitalist populism. Its not because they were that great of a candidate, but because people didn’t like the direction the world was turning, which brought about out of desperation, the Covid year of 2020 and the complete collapse of the global economy that was so tragic that most people didn’t even want to discuss what happened because they wanted so badly to put it out of their minds.
So the mindset of the economic shutdowns has taken a few years to recover from, and it has taken a while for people to get their feet under them again. And what we’re talking about are all the DEI hires and the work-from-home mentality that has been socially disastrous—social policy cooked up in a lab, with everyone’s books open to Karl Marx’s literature. Even Microsoft was in on the gag, trying to push everyone into Teams meetings from home in their pajamas. Nobody was betting on a complete economic recovery in those dark months of 2021, as Biden took office, Trump was forced into exile, and Covid protocols were imposing themselves on every one of us. People should have been more intelligent to see the obvious. We were under attack by an extensively laid plan of a complete Marxist takeover of the world. And I said it at the time, and said all this was going to happen. Nobody listened until it was too late. And I would go around town and talk about all the businesses that were working from home, and how they were going to fail, and all the fast food places that closed their dining rooms because they didn’t have enough staff to stay open. I told everyone what was going to happen, and now it is. And I saw it clearly because of the way I live my life, in front of the train. At the same time, most of the world lives in the back, where it’s safe. We’re talking about Robert Pirsig’s Metaphysics of Quality as he talked about it in the great book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It’s a very popular book, though largely misunderstood. Its sequel, Lila, has not been read by millions, but by a very select few in the world who are audacious rarities.
The metaphysics of quality, as I explained in my video with a train roaring by, is essentially a perspective on leadership and decision-making. Outstanding leadership is done at the front of a metaphorical train, where you can see what’s coming as it approaches. You can turn the train, slow it down, tell people what you see coming. But most people don’t dare to lead from the front. So they have built an administrative bureaucracy in the back of the train to provide analysis, which is useful. But it’s not leadership because by the time the moving train reaches the point of decision, the caboose has passed it entirely too late. Decisions have to be made at the front to ensure the quality people expect. That is why great generals who lead from the front are great. Great business leaders are so rare. And why political efforts succeed or fail. If leadership is at the back of the train, a management effort will likely fail every time. If, under scarce circumstances, an organizational leader is at the front of the train —where few people dare to be —then great success is possible. Success that is often beyond people’s wildest dreams. So when a business is failing and wants the public to know they are making changes, they put up signs saying they are under new management, hoping people will give them a second chance in the economy, implying that their leadership change will be different. After COVID, a lot of companies got suckered and put their leaders all in the back of the train, where it was safe, and it was a disaster for the world’s economy under a hostile takeover.
Karl Marx was always an idiot and a coward. He died broke because he was a back-of-the-train theorist. The world is full of them. But because there were a lot of cowards in the world who ended up in government, health care, and were second-generation titans of industry who didn’t have the same guts their previous generation had, they adopted Marxism to hide what losers they were. But in a marketplace where free will is expected, that kind of back-of-the-train micromanagement was never going to work. And I said so all along. And now that the money is flowing again and Trump is back in the White House, leading from the front, it has exposed this plan for the fraud it was. And now everyone is scrambling to find people at the front of the train, and their “under new management” signs are hopes that people will assume that there is leadership at the front of the train instead of everyone functioning from the back, where all the wimps hang out. And that’s why there are suddenly so many signs. At least the owners of these businesses are trying. But it shows clearly the danger that arises when we micromanage society, with back-of-the-train personalities who are not equipped to lead. Even in a bar or nightclub, where leadership isn’t even considered. People expect the lights to work and the beer to be cold. And when everyone is hiding in the back of the train, they often order those things too late to arrive for a Friday night gathering that nobody thought would happen because of COVID social distancing rules. Only people in the front of the train were ready, because they saw well in advance what a dumb idea everything was. And most businesses that lacked those unique personalities failed, are now trying to recover, and want the world to know they are looking for front-of-the-train management. And even if they haven’t yet found them, they are at least looking.
