Whats changed isnt that power returned but that alignment now precedes legality. Law didnt disappear; it slipped from operating system to audit log.

"This is one of the cleaner post-labor models Ive seen especially the attention constraint and statutory layer. One missing variable though: coordination and legitimacy dont scale the way income does. Replacing wages with capital solves demand but it doesnt automatically solve meaning status or social anchoring once work is no longer the primary coordination mechanism. A society where 80% dont work isnt just post-labor its post-institutional. At that point the bottleneck isnt production or purchasing power its how legitimacy norms and shared reality are maintained when contribution is no"

"One way to read Palantirization is as a symptom of a deeper constraint: implementation capacity is outpacing institutional absorptive capacity. Generic software assumes stable schemas clean ownership and legible workflows. In high-stakes environments those dont exist so intelligence has to be embedded not abstracted. FDEs arent a GTM trick; theyre a temporary prosthetic for institutions that cant yet metabolize AI on their own. The reason this doesnt generalize is that most orgs never close that coordination gap they just rent humans to stand in it."
