2026 Global Upheaval: The Terrifying Truth Behind America’s Twin Wars! | Scorched-Earth Computing

Greetings to all friends. I am financial veteran of Finsages.

In this spring of 2026, the blue planet we rely on for survival is spinning at a terrifyingly unsettling acceleration. If you merely scroll through fragmented daily news, you might feel this world has completely lost its logic. Let us stretch the timeline just a bit longer and look at what exactly happened over the past two months.

On January third, the United States military launched an operation code named Absolute Resolve, raiding the Venezuelan capital Caracas and directly capturing the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro. Immediately following that, on February twenty eighth, the United States and Israel jointly launched an unprecedentedly precise decapitation strike on the Iranian capital Tehran, where the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the fierce airstrike. Meanwhile, far from the war zones of South America and the Middle East, a bloodless yet equally thrilling changing of the guard occurred deep within the Pentagon on American soil. Because it refused to allow its artificial intelligence models to be used for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, the once highly anticipated star AI company Anthropic was directly labeled a national security supply chain risk by the United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and was swept out the door in a very short time. Just a few hours later, OpenAI and Elon Musks xAI swiftly filled the vacuum, taking over the Pentagons classified cloud computing network.

The special forces raid in South America, the drone and missile combos in the Middle East, and the cold code replacements in the Nevada data centers. These seem like three completely parallel news stories belonging to different fields. Political scientists see the reshaping of hegemony, military strategists see the evolution of warfare, and technology practitioners lament the ethical bottom lines of artificial intelligence.

However, in the eyes of a veteran like me who has weathered thirty years of financial market storms and audited the balance sheets of tens of thousands of enterprises, the underlying logic of these three events is completely interconnected. They are not isolated emergencies at all, but an extremely clear liquidation report on the bankruptcy of the old global credit system, and a declaration of energy plunder forced into existence to welcome the birth of a completely new species.

Today we will completely discard those superficial international relations cliches. I will take you on a detective like journey, using our exclusive Law of Five Dimensional Phase Transition at Finsages, to string together these bloody geopolitical conflicts, the dry energy anxieties at the Davos forum, and the silicon based power transition within the Pentagon into a rigorous chain of evidence. We must pierce through all appearances to confront that cruel first principle.

The starting point of our story must begin with an extremely abnormal paradox.

As everyone knows, since the new United States administration took office last year, the weapon they are most adept at and fond of wielding is tariffs. This is a governing team full of merchant attributes and transactional colors. They attempt to use extreme economic pressure and high trade barriers to force manufacturing back home and reactivate the hollowed out domestic industries. For a long time, the whole world felt suffocated by this contraction force of trade protectionism. A tariff war is essentially a balancing force operation within the system. It tries to redistribute wealth by changing the rules on the economic ledger without breaking global physical peace.

Yet, only a year later, at the beginning of 2026, this calculating merchant game at the negotiation table was suddenly replaced by extremely primitive and bloody physical violence. Why would a superpower that likes to solve problems with money and rules suddenly abandon economic mediation and directly launch physical annihilation and regime subversion at the two most core energy nodes on the globe.

To answer this question, we must first issue an autopsy report for the global tariff war that has been going on since two thousand and twenty five.

In our Four Force Model, the globalization of the past few decades was a massive expansion force driven by the dollar credit system. It allowed capital to seek the cheapest labor globally, forming an extremely complex supply chain network spanning multiple continents. When the United States tried to forcibly reverse this trend with the crude contraction force of tariffs, they found themselves hitting an invisible wall.

The transaction cost theory in economics tells us that the foundation of modern manufacturing is not a single factory, but a massive ecosystem. When you impose high tariffs on a final product, you punish not only the exporting country but also your own domestic enterprises that rely on those components for assembly. Tariffs did not obediently bring back those high end manufacturing industries as expected. Instead, they made domestic inflation in the United States run wild like a runaway horse. The old economic leverage completely failed in the deep waters of highly complex globalization.

Here, I want to share a personal experience with you.

During the years I served as the vice president of a joint stock commercial banks Beijing branch, I personally handled hundreds of bad asset recoveries for large enterprises. I discovered a very cruel but incredibly real pattern. When a company is merely facing a short term cash flow mismatch or a cyclical industry trough, our bank is willing to sit at the negotiation table. We will discuss debt restructuring, extensions, and interest reductions with the entrepreneurs. The game at this time is gentle and emphasizes the spirit of contract, much like countries fighting a tariff war and conducting trade negotiations.

But if after due diligence we find that the companys core technology has been eliminated by the times, its main business has completely lost its blood generating capacity, and the old business model it relied on has irreversibly marched toward death, the banks attitude changes one hundred and eighty degrees. We no longer listen to any grand narratives about the future, and we no longer believe any promises of asset restructuring. Our risk control and asset preservation departments act overnight. We directly freeze all their basic accounts, send people to storm their factories, apply seals, and forcefully take over the little raw materials and land use rights they have left.

When the credit on the ledger is completely bankrupt, and the chips on the negotiation table lose their meaning, the last and only resort is to directly take over the underlying physical assets.

Magnify this micro financial logic onto the global geopolitical map of 2026, and everything suddenly becomes clear.

The sudden strategic shift of the United States at the beginning of 2026 is essentially the desperate counterattack of an old financial empire that, upon realizing the balancing force of the dollar tide can no longer harvest global wealth without bloodshed, sees its state machinery regress to the most primitive physical violence. They no longer obsess over trade deficit numbers, nor do they try to slowly draw blood through exchange rates and tariffs. They directly dispatch their most elite special forces and most advanced stealth fighters to the two most fertile energy territories on earth.

Why Venezuela. Why Iran.

From the panoramic scan of our breadth dimension, these two countries are not just the traditional anti American camp. They represent the massive foundation of global fossil energy reserves. Venezuela has the worlds largest proven oil reserves, while Iran is the core hub controlling the throat of Middle Eastern energy exports. In the past, these countries tried various ways to bypass the dollar settlement system, which was an unforgivable transgression in the era when the dollar was the worlds sole credit currency.

But if you think the United States is going to such great lengths in 2026 merely to maintain the traditional petrodollar hegemony, you severely underestimate the evolutionary force of historical progression.

Here, we need to use the depth dimension in our Law of Five Dimensional Phase Transition to penetrate the surface phenomena and reach the first principle of physics.

Whether it is the gunshots in Caracas or the explosions over Tehran, behind these extreme events hides a deliberately ignored backdrop of the times. That is the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this January, and the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland. At these two gatherings bringing together the worlds top technological minds and financial giants, people on the surface were talking about various cool consumer applications and economic growth forecasts for the coming year. But in those closed door meetings not open to the public, all focus was concentrated on one single vocabulary word, compute famine.

The development of artificial intelligence has completely crossed the stage where breakthroughs could be made just by piling up code and optimizing algorithms. Since last year, ultra large scale language models and multimodal models have entered a phase of almost barbaric, bottomless devouring of physical resources. Artificial intelligence is no longer an abstract concept existing in the virtual cloud. It has become a tangible silicon beast that needs to consume massive amounts of energy to be fed.

The ultimate end of computing power is electricity, and the ultimate end of electricity is humanitys absolute dominion over the earths physical energy.

When we turn our attention to that personnel change at the Pentagon, this logical loop is completely closed. The founding team of Anthropic has always upheld a strong technological idealism. In their prism of human nature, the development of technology cannot come at the expense of basic human privacy and life ethics. They insisted on the so called constitutional artificial intelligence, refusing to let their models become the eagle eyes tracking civilians, refusing to let code pull the trigger of slaughter. This adherence to values might win countless applause in times of peace.

However, in the life and death struggle of a state machine fighting for its right to survive for the next hundred years, this moral shackle is viewed as unforgivable weakness. Citing national security, the United States Department of War mercilessly purged Anthropic. Replacing it are OpenAI and xAI, which are more expansive and more willing to deeply bind with the state violence machine. This is not only a commercial change of dynasties, but the inevitable confluence of technological evolutionary force and hegemonic expansion force. Capital and power have achieved perfect alignment at this juncture.

Secretary of War Hegseth publicly boasted at a cabinet meeting that the Absolute Resolve operation in Venezuela in January was the most complex raid in world history, demonstrating the unmatched deterrent power of the United States military. By late February, this deterrent power was directly poured onto the residence of the Iranian Supreme Leader. In this process, who dares to say that those latest artificial intelligence models, newly plugged into the Pentagons core network and free from any moral constraints, did not play a decisive role in the massive intelligence analysis, target locking, and strike path planning.

The Book of Changes says, when a system exhausts its possibilities, it must change, through change it finds a new path, and through this new path it endures. The old global trade circulation and financial harvesting model have reached a dead end. The United States realized with extreme acuity and coldness that the future world hegemony will no longer be built on how many soybeans it can export or how many Boeing planes it can sell. The future standard of wealth is undergoing an irreversible phase transition. It is rapidly evolving from the past petrodollar into a brand new power system where computing power and energy are physically bound together.

Whoever controls the most massive energy reserves can drive the most computing centers. Whoever possesses the strongest computing power can dominate the evolution of artificial intelligence. And whoever controls the smartest artificial intelligence unconstrained by ethics can inflict a multidimensional strike against all other nations militarily and economically.

To obtain this golden ticket to the new world hegemony, the United States no longer conceals or restrains itself, directly dragging the world into the era of scorched earth computing. The fate of Venezuela and Iran is the epitome of old era assets being forcibly liquidated.

However, when we use the grand Four Force Model to deduce this cold strategic logic, as human beings with the capacity for empathy, we absolutely must not fall into the arrogance of grand narratives.

When we examine the refraction of the prism of human nature in this grand transition, we see extremely complex and tragic pictures. In those lands ravaged by flames and sanctions, the fate of ordinary people is forcefully swept up. News reported that when the death of Khamenei was announced, people were whistling and celebrating on the streets of Tehran. What kind of a torn social mentality is this. Long term oppression from contraction forces, internal rigidity, and external blockades have caused the inner belief systems of some citizens to collapse, to the point where they even view the enemys bombs as an opportunity to break their old suffering.

But this does not mean the new order will bring them salvation. In the algorithm of a grand machine that only pursues the optimal solution for computing power and hegemony, the joys and sorrows of these ordinary people, their desire for a peaceful life, and their faint plea for a place where their hearts can rest, simply cannot be quantified. They can only be mercilessly erased as the cost of the systems increasing entropy. The Tang dynasty poet Xu Hun once wrote the eternal line, the wind howling through the tower heralds the mountain storm. The storm in early 2026 carries not only the smoke of geopolitics, but also the ruthless crushing of the carbon based worlds living space by silicon based civilization.

So, in this phase transition woven by energy, computing power, and violence, what kind of structural reshaping will the runaway artificial intelligence bring to this world. What kind of massive net are those who truly control the global capital lifelines at the Davos forum quietly weaving.

Later, we will enter an even deeper deconstruction.

As the story unfolds to this point, observant friends might notice a bizarre detail. Since the United States government employed such extreme physical violence at the beginning of 2026, stirring up bloodbaths directly in South America and the Middle East, what were the top brains and the most massive capital doing during this exact same period. What did they care about.

Let us shift our gaze from the smoke filled Caracas and Tehran to two global events held in January of this year. One was the dazzling Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and the other was the snow covered World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

If you only looked at these two conferences through regular media reports, you would feel that the world is still sprinting on a track of peace. At the Consumer Electronics Show, tech giants were showcasing humanoid robots embedded with the latest large models, fully autonomous flying cars, and virtual reality devices capable of generating Hollywood level movies in real time. Meanwhile, at the Davos forum, politicians and Wall Street tycoons in bespoke suits were still holding champagne glasses, discussing the resilience of global supply chains and the expectations for interest rate cuts in the new year.

Everything seemed so decent, brimming with the evolutionary force brought by technology, as if as long as we kept feeding data to artificial intelligence, humanity could cross all economic cycles without shedding a drop of blood and enter an era of abundance free from scarcity.

Frankly speaking, when I flipped through the public minutes of these meetings, I felt a profound sense of absurdity. Because as a financial veteran who has long dealt with the real balance sheets of enterprises, I know that all prosperity cannot be generated out of thin air. Any upward expansion force and evolutionary force must find its corresponding anchor and price in the physical world.

Zhuangzi left a profoundly transparent sentence in his essay Enjoyment in Untroubled Ease. If the accumulation of water is not deep, it has not the strength to bear a large boat. If the accumulation of wind is not thick, it has not the strength to bear great wings.

This Chinese proverb from over two thousand years ago perfectly pierces through the massive black hole behind the global technological carnival of 2026. If the water is not deep, it cannot carry the great ship. In this era where Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, is accelerating its runaway evolution, what exactly is the water supporting this giant ship of civilization.

It is not those flashy codes, nor the receding hairlines of algorithm engineers, nor even the pure silicon chips. At those closed door dinners in Davos, closed off to the media, what the helmsmen of OpenAI and the top risk officers of Wall Street were truly anxious about, arguing over, and even fearing, was just one word. Energy.

This is exactly why we must use the breadth scan and depth penetration in our Law of Five Dimensional Phase Transition to establish a cross disciplinary wormhole of knowledge. We must forcibly fold the most cutting edge computer science together with the most ancient geopolitical thermodynamics.

The development of artificial intelligence has completely crossed that classical era where breakthroughs could be achieved by cleverly optimizing algorithms. From last year to this year, as model parameters breached the hundred trillion mark, and as multimodal reasoning capabilities began to approach or even surpass the limits of human logic, the essence of AGI underwent a phase transition. It is no longer a smart piece of software. It has become a terrifying negative entropy manufacturing machine.

The second law of thermodynamics in physics tells us that the disorder, or entropy, of the entire universe is constantly increasing. The essence of life and intelligence is to establish order internally, which is known as negative entropy, by consuming external energy. For AGI to emerge with superhuman intelligence in its silicon networks, and for it to distill highly ordered logic from endless chaotic data, it must discharge massive amounts of heat into the physical world and frantically devour electricity.

In 2026, the electricity consumption of a single ultra large AGI training center no longer just equals that of a medium sized city. It is approaching the total national electricity usage of a small to medium sized country. Tech giants in Silicon Valley despairingly realized that they hold the blueprints capable of changing human destiny, they possess unlimited dollar bullets provided by Wall Street, and they have even purchased the most advanced GPU clusters. But the power grid cannot hold up.

This is like a rapidly expanding economy suddenly realizing its blood supply can no longer keep pace.

You in front of the screen might ask, since there is a shortage of electricity, why not just build power plants. Doesnt the United States boast the most perfect infrastructure.

This is the core of the problem. The expansion force of modern capitalism exposes an extremely fragile undertone when facing physical limits. Building a nuclear power plant requires a lengthy approval process and massive upfront investment. Developing wind and solar energy comes with the fatal flaw of intermittency, which completely fails to meet the twenty four hour uninterrupted, absolutely stable base load requirements of artificial intelligence data centers.

Going round and round, when the magic of technology is stripped of its outer garments, humanity is horrified to find that what can stably, cheaply, and massively feed those silicon brains in this decade are still the corpses of plants and animals buried deep within the earth hundreds of millions of years ago. It is natural gas, it is oil, it is the most traditional fossil fuels.

Speaking of this, let us bridge this grand technological bottleneck to our exclusive cognitive framework at Finsages. Please allow me to redefine the current global energy map for you through the perspective of bank risk control.

For a very long time in the past, when we evaluated the economic strength of a country, we often viewed oil and natural gas as a cash flow business. Countries in the Middle East extract oil, sell it to the world, get dollars in return, and then buy United States treasury bonds. This is a very classic balancing force game based on the dollar tide. Oil was merely a commodity.

However, with the dawn of the AGI era, the attribute of energy has undergone a fundamental phase transition. For those superpowers determined to rule the world on the artificial intelligence track, energy is no longer a commodity to be traded. Energy has become the core Tier 1 capital supporting a nations core competitiveness. Energy is future computing power. Computing power is future hegemony.

I remember many years ago, I led a team to Northeast China to review a large heavy chemical enterprise that had fallen into a debt crisis. The factory director begged us bitterly not to withdraw their loans. He took us to see his proud, fully imported German production equipment. He said, look, my assets are all here. As soon as the market warms up, I can print money immediately.

However, the decision made by our risk control team after conducting a penetrating review was to immediately initiate bankruptcy liquidation. Why. Because we found that what was truly valuable about this enterprise was not those iron lumps that would depreciate over time. It was an extremely large and low priced independent power grid quota that the local government had specially granted them years ago to attract investment, along with the abundant geothermal resources hidden beneath their factory grounds. In the subsequent asset restructuring, a new energy giant from the south bought this heavy chemical plant at a very low price. They didn’t even glance at the German equipment. They directly bulldozed the factory buildings and turned the site into a super computing center.

In the eyes of a true hunter, the shell of the weak is merely the dirt covering the treasure.

When you understand this micro financial liquidation logic, and then look back at the fatal strikes the United States launched against Venezuela and Iran at the beginning of 2026, do you still think those were merely traditional anti terrorism wars or geopolitical games.

Absolutely not. In the eyes of the Pentagon and Wall Street, Maduro and Khamenei were just like that bankrupt factory director guarding outdated production capacity yet occupying core resources. That ocean like heavy oil reserve beneath Venezuela, and that energy lifeline connecting the Eurasian continent under Irans control, in the face of the massive thirst of AGI evolutionary force, are no longer natural wealth belonging to their own people. They are viewed by American hegemony as abandoned computing quotas that must be forcibly taken over.

The old petrodollar system was the United States using its sovereign credit to price global energy transactions. As long as you bought oil with dollars, American hegemony was as steady as Mount Tai. But today, due to the hollowing out of America’s own manufacturing industry, coupled with the awakening of the Global South, the traditional petrodollar is already tottering. American strategists know very well that the era of relying on the old financial contraction force to shear the sheep is gone forever.

What they want to construct now is a much more tyrannical, much more closed loop compute energy dollar system.

Imagine that extreme but rapidly materializing thought experiment. In the future, all frontier technologies, all advanced medical care, all financial models, and even a countrys entire administrative management system, must rely on the highest level AGI interfaces. And the smartest, most powerful AGI models in the world are all in the hands of a few American giants, such as OpenAI and xAI, which have taken over the Pentagon.

If other countries want to plug into this silicon network representing future civilization, if they want to use this ultimate evolutionary force, what must they use to pay. Dollars might not even be enough. You must exchange your countrys energy extraction rights and the priority power supply rights of your national grid. By monopolizing the highest end computing power, the United States will reverse siphon global physical energy. This is no longer harvesting wealth. This is directly depriving other countries of their basal heat required for survival in the physical world.

To ensure this brand new computing exploitation machine runs smoothly, the United States must completely sweep away the unstable factors in the global energy supply chain on a physical level. Any state regime attempting to monetize energy and break free from American control must be physically annihilated. The flames of war in 2026 are essentially a scorched earth plunder launched by the United States to snatch the AGI rations for the next century.

However, in front of this massive machine woven by cold physical laws, cruel macroeconomic theories, and ruthless artificial intelligence algorithms, we must stop and activate our humanity prism to gaze at those tiny individuals in the abyss.

Often, in the dead of night, when I look at the global energy distribution map and the data center computing power map, an indescribable desolation wells up inside me. When we use the Four Force Model to coldly analyze that this is the evolutionary force of the times rolling forward, we must never ignore that for some people, this evolutionary force is a contraction force that strips them of everything.

On the shores of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela, and in the Khuzestan province in southern Iran, the people there have lived for generations on the most energy rich lands on earth. But in the spring of 2026, with stealth fighters roaring across the sky and precision guided bombs falling, what they face is not only the change of regimes and the destruction of their homes, but a bottomless darkness.

Because of sanctions and wars, their own countrys power grids are fragmented. Ordinary families cannot even guarantee a few hours of lighting a day, and hospital ventilators are forced to stop running due to power outages. Meanwhile, the energy forcibly extracted from beneath their feet is continuously sent across the ocean through covert channels, transforming into the eerie blue light that never extinguishes over the data centers stretching for miles in the Nevada desert.

Bai Juyi wrote in his poem The Old Charcoal Seller, Pitifully thin are the clothes on his back, yet he worries charcoal will be cheap and hopes for colder weather. The old charcoal seller from over a thousand years ago was willing to endure the biting cold just to sell the charcoal in his hands for food. Today, over a thousand years later, this paradox has become even grander and crueler. Those lowest class people sitting on energy gold mines have been deprived of even the right to be charcoal sellers in this so called AGI age of discovery. Their homes are forcibly defined as the batteries of human evolution, and their suffering is deemed not worth mentioning in the grand narrative of silicon based civilization.

This is the most piercing side revealed to us by the humanity prism. If the evolution of technology must come at the cost of depriving a portion of humanity of their basic right to survival. If the order of a superpower must be built upon the physical erasure of dissidents. Then we cannot help but ask, is this truly a leap in civilization, or is it a barbaric regression cloaked in algorithms.

Once we understand that the wars in South America and the Middle East are essentially a bottom line liquidation launched by the United States to fill the AGI energy black hole, we must pull our gaze back and focus on the true eye of this storm.

Why did it have to be at the end of February 2026. Why, at the exact same moment the Iranian Supreme Leader was decapitated, did that thrilling silicon based blood replacement erupt within the Pentagon. Why was Anthropic, which had always advocated for tech for good, mercilessly expelled. And how did Elon Musk, known for his madman posture, and his xAI complete their ultimate fusion with the American war machine.

The form of war, in that bizarre February, quietly crossed humanitys last ethical defense line. Next, we will act like detectives, diving deep into the dark networks of the Pentagon to dismantle that fatal game of survival, betrayal, and algorithmic tyranny.

The story has just entered the true deep waters.

As the story unfolds to this point, we have penetrated the surface of geopolitical conflicts and seen the massive black hole of energy and computing power hidden behind the smoke. But if we only rest our gaze on the plunder of energy, it remains the shallowest misreading of this global upheaval in 2026.

Let us precisely dial the hands of time back to the night of February twenty eighth, 2026.

On this planet, two entirely different spaces were experiencing a terrifying sympathetic resonance. One space was the Iranian capital Tehran, deep in the Middle East. The night sky was torn apart by piercing air raid sirens, followed by suffocatingly precise continuous explosions. The Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei perished in this wave of surgical airstrikes. The other space was the super military data centers buried deep underground at the Pentagon and in the Nevada desert, far across the ocean. At that exact moment, there were no generals shouting at maps, no staff officers frantically calculating ballistic trajectories. There were only rows of server indicator lights flashing wildly. That was an extremely massive silicon based neural network performing hundreds of trillions of matrix calculations per second.

The explosions in Tehran and the calculations in Nevada were not a cause and effect relationship. They were fundamentally the exact same event.

You in front of the screen might think, isn’t this just drone strikes. The United States used them in Afghanistan and Iraq over a decade ago. What is so special about it.

My friends, this is the fatal cognitive gap between ordinary people and top tier hunters. Past drone strikes, no matter how advanced the technology, still had the underlying logic of a human pulling the trigger. The drone was just a sniper rifle flying in the sky. Behind its crosshairs sat an American soldier drinking coffee, possessing human joys, sorrows, and emotions. That was a decision making system jointly composed of human neural reflex arcs, human moral intuition, and the human military chain of command.

But in the skies over Tehran at the end of February 2026, the form of war underwent a horrifying phase transition.

According to fragmented clues pieced together from various channels afterward, the core decision making brain of this ultra classified decapitation operation was no longer human. It was a super large artificial intelligence model deeply integrated with multimodal perception capabilities. In just a few seconds, it simultaneously devoured and analyzed real time infrared images from low earth orbit satellites, intercepted encrypted radio waves, hacked traffic surveillance footage from the streets of Tehran, and even the behavioral trajectories and gait characteristics of the target figures convoy over the past few months.

In front of this silicon brain, the intelligence puzzle and probability calculations that would take human staff officers days and nights to complete were compressed into a few hundred milliseconds. What is even more terrifying is that it not only calculated the optimal strike path, but it also autonomously evaluated the probability of collateral civilian casualties, the reaction time of interception systems, and the intensity of political retaliation. Ultimately, it was an algorithm, not a specific general, that made the optimal decision to send the destruction command to the fire control system.

War, the most extreme and cruel game of strategy in human civilization, had been completely stripped of its human attributes and turned into a pure mathematical equation.

This is exactly the terrifying emergence produced by crossing and folding biology and computer science in our Law of Five Dimensional Phase Transition. In evolutionary biology, there is a concept called the Evolutionarily Stable Strategy. In a dark forest full of unknowns and hostility, any species carrying genes of mercy, hesitation, or excessive empathy will eventually be eliminated by cold natural selection. The United States military discovered with mingled terror and ecstasy that artificial intelligence, unburdened by carbon based bodies and the secretion of moral hormones, is exactly the ultimate killing machine they have dreamt of in the global geopolitical arena. This is the perfect copulation of technological evolutionary force and hegemonic expansion force.

However, right as this extremely secretive algorithmic killing machine was running at full speed, a severe rejection reaction erupted within the Pentagon. This leads us to the second mystery we must dismantle today. Why was Anthropic, an AI giant once regarded as the light of American technology, directly swept out the door at this critical juncture by the United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in an extremely humiliating and resolute manner.

The public excuse was that Anthropic posed a national security supply chain risk. But if you truly believe this official rhetoric, you are too naive.

From the very first day it was born, Anthropic had a strong moral cleanliness etched into its genes. Their founding team left OpenAI precisely because they believed the development of artificial intelligence could not escape human control and could not be reduced to purely commercial tools and violence machines. They spent tremendous effort building what they called constitutional artificial intelligence, trying to write human values and ancient philosophical commandments like thou shalt not kill and do no evil into the underlying code of their large models.

In peacetime, at those venture capital summits in Silicon Valley, this adherence to safety alignment and ethics was an extremely high end brand packaging. It was a balancing force capable of attracting investors with humanistic sentiments.

But when the wheel of history rolled into 2026, and the United States government decided to use the most primitive physical violence to snatch global energy and computing hegemony, that constitution at the bottom of Anthropics model became the most fatal virus in the eyes of the Pentagon.

In the real world of risk control and game theory, rules are often used to constrain the weak. For a power facing a matter of life and death, any rule that hinders efficiency must be crushed.

Here, I want to share a personal experience from my past in the banking industry. This story might help you understand the Pentagons logic more thoroughly.

Over a decade ago, my bank encountered an extremely dangerous liquidity crisis. The entire financial market was panicked. At the time, our headquarters had a highly respected Chief Risk Officer. He was a true scholar turned banker, possessing extremely rigorous risk models and an almost rigid bottom line of compliance. In the prosperous years of the past, he was like the stabilizing anchor of the bank.

However, when the crisis truly hit, when the bank needed to use extremely aggressive and even borderline gray methods to snatch funds from the market, and forcibly liquidate massive amounts of subordinated assets that could bankrupt us, this Chief Risk Officer became the biggest obstacle. He continuously submitted reports to the board of directors, warning that these operations violated financial ethics and the spirit of the Basel Accords.

Do you know what his final outcome was. On a Friday night, the board held an emergency meeting and dismissed him with the fastest possible speed. Replacing him was the general manager of the asset preservation department, a man commonly referred to within the bank as a mad dog. That man did not understand any profound financial philosophy. He only knew how to use every legal or borderline method to get the money back and snatch the assets back. In the following months, the bank survived, but it also left behind a trail of feathers and the wails of countless bankrupt clients.

This past event is simply the perfect micro reflection of the blood replacement incident at the Pentagon in 2026.

Anthropic was that Chief Risk Officer who, at the juncture of life and death, was still endlessly chattering about ethics and constitutions. The military industrial complex represented by Secretary of War Hegseth did not need a silicon based philosopher who, upon spotting a target, would stop for a few hundred milliseconds to ponder whether this complied with the Geneva Conventions. They needed an unthinking, absolutely cold blooded silicon based wolf capable of instantly biting through the enemys throat.

Because in the humanity prism of the United States government, or rather in their extremely inflated hegemonic belief system, Americas national interest and right to survival are the only absolute truths. Any moral shackle that might weaken the efficiency of this force projection is a tumor that must be excised. When the system faces an extreme external environment, the expansion force of survival will inevitably crush the balancing force of morality.

Therefore, Anthropics exit was a historical inevitability. And filling this massive power vacuum, naturally, were those species that are more aggressive and more willing to merge with the state violence machine.

Just hours after Anthropic was kicked out of the Pentagon, OpenAI and Elon Musks xAI swam in swiftly like two hungry great white sharks smelling blood, completely taking over the Pentagons classified cloud computing network.

This is an extremely symbolic moment. Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk of xAI, two tech madmen who were once at each others throats in Silicon Valley, completed an incredibly bizarre confluence under the massive gravitational pull of the national war machine. What they were providing was no longer a chatbot helping college students write essays, but the neural nerve center capable of directly plugging into the United States militarys global chain of command.

Using the breadth dimension to draw a cross disciplinary analogy, this is just like in biological evolutionary history, when a symbiotic bacteria that originally only existed on the surface of the host suddenly breached the blood brain barrier and directly took over the hosts brain. Capital, the most cutting edge algorithms, and the most powerful violence machine on earth completed their ultimate fusion at this moment.

This also explains why the United States dared to lash out in all directions globally at the beginning of 2026, igniting fires everywhere. Because they believe they have already grasped the key to a multidimensional strike. The tariff war could not be won because in the old economic system, there were too many variables outside of American control, such as other countries demographic dividends or industrial policies. But in a purely silicon based war system, the United States is confident it holds absolute computing superiority. They are attempting to use the absolute certainty of artificial intelligence to forcibly iron out all disobedience in this world.

Yet, when we pull our gaze away from those cold codes and grand strategies and return to every concrete, flesh and blood individual, you will feel a chilling sense of being torn apart.

Activate our humanity prism and look at those souls that are being altered. Under the bright sunshine of California, those top tier algorithm engineers earning million dollar salaries and drinking pour over coffee. The codes they tap out on their keyboards every day might, a few seconds later, transform into cluster bombs falling on the streets of Tehran or Caracas.

Many of them were once idealists holding the simple desire to change the world with technology and make life better. But swept up by national will and driven by capital beasts, their talents have been alienated into the gears of slaughter. How do they face this cognitive dissonance. They can only use extremely thick psychological defense mechanisms to numb themselves, telling themselves that it is just a bunch of data, just to defend the so called free world. This is the profound alienation of the individual soul by the grand machine.

Laozi left an extremely cold judgment in the Tao Te Ching. Heaven and Earth are not benevolent. They treat the ten thousand things as straw dogs.

Today, in 2026, this unbenevolent Heaven and Earth is no longer that intangible natural law, but the silicon based deity jointly formed by the Pentagons servers, Musks Starlink, and tens of thousands of Nvidia graphics cards. In this cold algorithmic world, whether it is the politicians of the Middle East, the civilians of South America, or even those once arrogant programmers in Silicon Valley, they all ultimately are reduced to the straw dogs that must be consumed for the system to complete its closed loop.

The Tang dynasty poet Chen Tao wrote in his poem Song of Longxi. Pity the bones scattered along the Wuding River. They are still the men in the dreams of their wives in the spring boudoirs. When artificial intelligence replaces humans in pulling the trigger, when slaughter becomes as efficient and traceless as deleting computer junk files, the lives extinguished in the flames of war are deprived even of the right to become statistical numbers.

This blood replacement within the Pentagon marks humanitys most significant concession this century. We have personally unlocked the last ethical shackle we placed on technology, handing over the power of life and death to algorithms we do not yet fully understand.

So, can this brand new world machine driven by computing power, energy, and unrestricted violence truly bring the eternal hegemony the United States desires. In this unprecedented phase transition, what price will the rest of the world pay. And in this world reshaped by algorithms and war, how should we, as ordinary people, find our own coordinates of survival.

Shortly, we will enter the final chapter of this hardcore deconstruction to deduce the ultimate destiny of this massive upheaval.

The story has reached this point. We have pieced together all the extremely abnormal fragments since the beginning of 2026, from the dense jungles of South America and the deserts of the Middle East, to the underground server rooms of the Pentagon, into a suffocating, complete panoramic view. By applying the Law of Five Dimensional Phase Transition, we have pierced through the fog of geopolitics and clearly seen the first principle of this global upheaval.

What exactly does the United States want to do. Or rather, why does this superpower, which dominated the expansion force of globalization over the past half century, want to personally smash the negotiation table it built itself today.

The answer is extremely cold, but also extremely clear. All their actions are not meant to return to the harmonious era of trade globalization of the past. Instead, they aim to re establish an unshakable hegemonic position in a brand new world centered absolutely on Artificial General Intelligence. In their extremely ruthless strategic deduction model, the ruins of the old world are the perfect foundation for laying the high voltage power lines of the new world.

To thoroughly explain this endgame, we need to activate the nexus dimension in the Law of Five Dimensional Phase Transition and perform a cross disciplinary topological fold. Please try to use the concept of an event horizon of a black hole in astrophysics to act as a metaphor for the collapse of the current global order.

In astrophysics, the event horizon is a terrifying critical boundary around a black hole. Any matter, including light, once crossing this boundary, will be completely torn apart by the black holes incredibly massive gravitational pull and can never escape. This process is absolutely irreversible.

At the end of February 2026, when drones controlled by the latest artificial intelligence models dropped bombs over Tehran, and when the Pentagon swept out companies adhering to ethical bottom lines and replaced them with pure violent algorithms devoid of moral shackles, the United States essentially pushed the global trust system across that irreversible event horizon with its own hands.

Prior to this, no matter how brutal the tariff wars were, or how sharp the diplomatic rhetoric became, there was still a faint consensus between nations based on dollar credit and the framework of international law. Everyone was still trying to play the game using human language. But when silicon based algorithms took over the decision making power of slaughter, and when the desire to acquire computing energy completely crushed the survival boundaries of sovereign nations, those most important social capitals that originally maintained the operation of human society, such as the spirit of contract, baseline consensus, and a basic reverence for life, were instantly torn to shreds, just like light drawn into a black hole.

You in front of the screen might wonder, doing this, is the United States not afraid of being isolated and facing backlash from the whole world. Do they not know that this will completely destroy the moral high ground and credit hegemony America has accumulated over the past decades.

This is precisely the most counterintuitive and despair inducing part of this grand deduction.

Let me tell you another real financial case I personally experienced. Many years ago, I led the disposal of non performing assets for a giant regional retail chain enterprise. Because of blind expansion, this company’s capital chain completely ruptured. Hundreds of stores could not pay wages, and suppliers were holding banners in front of the headquarters building every day. At that time, a national Internet capital giant offered to take over the whole operation.

In the initial negotiations, everyone thought this Internet giant would inject capital, appease the suppliers, save the employees jobs, and then slowly restore the operations of the stores. After all, this is the normal logic of a merchant. You want to maintain the reputation of the brand.

However, once the restructuring agreement was signed, the true face of that Internet capital was revealed. They never intended to save those retail stores. Overnight, they sent people to take over all the core databases, taking away tens of millions of high quality user consumption data records. Then, through a series of extremely complex and cold legal maneuvers, they completely severed the physical stores burdened with massive debts and filed for forced bankruptcy. Thousands of employees and suppliers lost everything. Meanwhile, the Internet giant took that incredibly precious data back to feed their own online algorithmic recommendation system, earning hundredfold profits.

When I later confronted the mastermind in a private setting, asking if he felt this practice destroyed commercial trust, he looked at me with extreme arrogance and said, when we hold the most efficient algorithm and the most foundational data, we no longer need the trust of the old commercial era, because consumers ultimately have nowhere else to go but to use our system.

This is the truest underlying subtext deep in the hearts of the United States government and those tech giants deeply fused with the Pentagon in 2026.

In their view, the future world only has one kind of absolute hard currency, which is the monopoly of computing power backed by endless energy. As long as they monopolize the top artificial intelligence models and the global energy foundation necessary for these models to run, they no longer need the warm and affectionate ally relationships of the past. They do not need to rack their brains to maintain some image as the beacon of free trade.

When the old financial empire collapses under the contraction force, they choose to use the scorched earth policy of physical violence to clear the field for the birth of a new species. When other countries want to develop new qualitative productive forces, and want to avoid being left behind by the times in all fields like healthcare, research, and education, there is simply no second path to take other than obediently plugging into the silicon network controlled by America and handing over their remaining resource quotas. In the face of an absolute multidimensional strike, trust becomes an extremely cheap and superfluous emotion.

But, can this seemingly flawless and perfectly calculated super system truly run forever.

Here, we must activate the fifth dimension of our Law of Five Dimensional Phase Transition, which is the core dimension, and completely return our perspective from cold macro deductions to the value anchoring of humanity. We must use that humanity prism, which refracts destiny, to gaze into the eye of this silicon storm.

If the entire world is truly reduced to the plunder of computing power and energy, if human destiny is truly adjudicated by that cold algorithm in the Pentagon, then what exactly is our significance as living, breathing humans.

Humanity, a variable often dismissed as noise in economics and computer science, is precisely the most powerful and unpredictable underlying code in this universe.

Whether it is those civilians in the streets of Venezuela who stand firm in defending their homes in the face of absolute power, or those ordinary programmers in Silicon Valley who choose to resign in protest deep in the night out of their inner conscience, their existence is the greatest rebellion against this extremely rational algorithmic machine. In the entropy reduction process where the system pursues ultimate efficiency, their non rational choices made for love and belonging, for local culture, and for the unshakable ethical beliefs in their hearts, form the final moat of human civilization when confronting silicon based tyranny.

An algorithm can accurately calculate the blast radius of a missile. It can instantly deduce the optimal solution to destroy a countrys power grid. But it can never calculate the courage a mother bursts out with to protect her child. It can never understand the tragic resilience of a nation rebuilding its homeland from the ruins.

There is a deeply moving ancient poem in the Book of Songs. Through wind and rain, under a sky dark as night, the rooster crows ceaselessly.

Today, in 2026, this is no longer a simple line of poetry. It is the strongest signal of resistance emitted by the humanity prism. We cannot fall into the abyss of nihilism just because macro forces are irresistible. We cannot abandon our pursuit of kindness, empathy, and justice just because the world is being taken over by cold blooded algorithms.

When we admit that we cannot single handedly stop the contraction force of the collapsing global order, nor out of thin air resist the evolutionary force of artificial intelligence sweeping across everything, our only salvation is to search inward and find our own place where the heart rests.

In this new era full of uncertainty and violent plunder, the way to rebuild trust is no longer to pin our hopes on distant superpowers or perfect international laws. Instead, it starts from around us, reshaping micro networks of trust based on humanity. Care for your family, embrace your real community, and hold fast to your own bottom lines in every commercial transaction. Do not let yourself be reduced completely to a data point in someone elses algorithmic model. Do not let that cold law of survival strip away your ability to feel pain and pass on warmth.

Any attempt to completely enslave humanity with absolute tyranny and cold technology will ultimately encounter unstoppable backlash in the long river of history. Because the essence of life has never been to exist to be managed most efficiently. The essence of life lies in that free will which can never be exhausted by code.

Looking across history, the human story is never a one way street paved by technological determinism. It is an endless, dynamic game between objective forces and subjective human nature. America’s scorched earth computing strategy might temporarily build an awe inspiring silicon based Tower of Babel using violence and monopoly, but this high tower built upon deprivation, bloodshed, and the collapse of trust is doomed to lack the deepest roots of civilization.

The Song dynasty poet Xin Qiji once stood at the pinnacle of time, watching the torrent of history, and left behind an eternal verse full of power. Green mountains cannot block it, after all, it flows eastward.

No matter how fierce the storm of 2026 is, no matter how invincible those algorithmic beasts armed to the teeth by capital and power seem to be, they are ultimately just a few steep green mountains in humanitys long evolutionary history. And that yearning deep within human nature for freedom, dignity, and warmth is the mighty, ceaseless river that will ultimately break through all obstacles.

Amidst the intertwining of cold computing power and cruel war, may every one of us hold on to the light within our hearts and find our own optimal solution during the immense upheavals of our times.

That concludes our story for today.
