The 90% Problem

April 8, 2025

This image sums up the state of the world with unsettling clarity:

1% control.

4% are puppets.

90% are asleep.

5% are awake and trying to wake the rest.

The real battle? It’s not physical. It’s awareness. The 1% don’t want the 5% waking up the 90%.

Here’s the crux: knowledge is power—and curiosity is the ignition. Most people aren’t asleep because they’re incapable. They’re asleep because questioning is inconvenient. Autopilot is comfortable.

But now, we have tools like ChatGPT—answers at your fingertips in seconds. Start somewhere. Verify. Think. Ask again.

The goal? Get the 90% curious. Enough to question what they consume, believe, and follow.

Because once you’re curious, you’re no longer asleep.

And that’s the start of everything.
