W7Reptilocracy 🦎🏛️ The Money Goes To Missiles
Teaser
These systems keep pushing up people who spend big on visible power and new arsenals, while the slow, messy damage it leaves in people’s heads is someone else’s problem.
TLDR
The ceiling is full of funded weapons, but the mind underneath gets a budget exhausted sign. We treat hardware as urgent security and human damage as a later, optional repair.Context
This is a rigged game. Money flows to what looks powerful, what wins contracts, what sounds good on a podium. Mental health support gets pushed aside.
Short-term fear drives it. Leaders fund what they can point at, not what quietly prevents damage later. Around here, serious leadership means bigger arsenals, not taking care of the people using them.
We insure the weapons, not the people who carry them. No filter for empathy, no honesty about the cost, no guts to back invisible work. It repeats: more hardware, more damage left for later.
BUT WHY:
This is part of an experiment: we are keeping count of how many scenes it takes before we agree that leaders with real power should prove they are psychologically fit to hold it.
By turning our instincts and hive habits into animals, the project asks why we still let untested nervous systems run entire societies.
In a world where one unstable nervous system can scale to entire institutions, this project treats Reptilocracy as the cartoon diagnosis and points to one concrete step: the Change.org petition (Stronger Checks and Balances: Psychological Fitness for Australia’s Top Leaders).
