The Silent Giant and the Dark Triad, A Trace Economy Framework for Unlocking Suppressed Human Potential.

This Whitepaper introduces the Silent Giant vs. Dark Triad framework as a civilizational diagnosis and positions the Trace Economy as a structural solution. It synthesizes psychological research, historical analysis, and economic modelling to demonstrate how humanity has been trapped in cycles of collapse by rewarding exploitative leadership while suppressing integrative innovators. It further outlines the simple, practical mechanics of Trace—timestamping, lineage protection, equity redistribution, and navigation hashtags—as tools to amplify polymathic and neurodivergent contributions.

The paper argues that amplifying the Silent Giant is not only a matter of justice but also an economic necessity: governments reduce welfare burdens, expand tax bases without raising taxes, and unlock exponential innovation. By embedding residual royalties and credibility into every contribution, Trace transforms public participation from a fleeting act into enduring epistemic and economic capital.
