If you believe you are intelligent, figure out this divided percent puzzle

Currently, a very small percentage of people control the world, mainly through their influence in governments, businesses, and international institutions. Approximately 1% of the world's population, often referred to as the "top 1%", owns a significant portion of the world's resources and wealth, thus having substantial influence over global politics, economics, and decision-making.

However, this group largely governs through governments, large corporations, and financial institutions. While this group holds great power, nations and governments offer opportunities for many communities to contribute to decision-making, although the distribution of power varies.

Awesome explanation Mr Victor
 
The "top 1%" typically refers to the wealthiest and most influential people globally. These individuals often have significant economic, political, or social influence. They come from various backgrounds, but are generally characterized by:

-Extreme Wealth: Billionaires and multimillionaires, often business owners, investors, or heirs to large fortunes.
-Corporate and Financial Leaders: CEOs of major multinational corporations, financial institutions, and venture capitalists who wield vast power over global markets and industries.
-Political Figures: High-ranking government officials, policymakers, and influential lobbyists who shape domestic and international policies, sometimes through direct wealth or corporate ties.
-Media Moguls: Owners of influential media conglomerates who control information dissemination, shaping public perception and discourse.
-Tech Entrepreneurs: Founders and executives of large tech companies, especially those who have created platforms or technologies that dominate global markets (e.g., tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, etc.).
-Elite Academics and Philanthropists: Highly connected individuals in academia, think tanks, and foundations who influence policy and public opinion through research, advocacy, or large-scale philanthropic initiatives.
This group wields influence over global economic, political, and social systems, often dictating trends and decisions that affect the broader population. However, it's important to note that while they control significant resources, not all of them use their power in the same way. Some prioritize personal wealth accumulation, while others focus on philanthropy or social impact.

Excellent idea, however there are existing forums for critical discussion. In my opinion, what has to be done is to establish some critical threads and share our varied experiences and knowledge

Assuming that scenario, a large proportion of people—90%—are sleep, and the remaining 5% are in charge of rousing others to consciousness so that a large number of people comprehend the existing state of affairs and break free from the mental prison.

In 100% world.

1% Control the world
4% are their puppets
90% are asleep.
5% know what's going on and try to wake the 90%

The 1% use the 4% to prevent the 5% from waking up the 90%.

Qn: Describe this puzzle by going into further detail and identify every percent (%) with real-world examples.

This scenario you've presented is a simplified depiction of a common narrative surrounding power dynamics and control in society. Let's delve deeper into each percentage group and provide real-world examples where applicable:

1. 1% Control the world:
- These are typically represented by the global elite, wealthy individuals, corporations, and influential leaders who hold significant power and resources. They are often seen as decision-makers shaping policies and economies to serve their interests.
- Real-world examples may include billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, and large multinational corporations such as Amazon, Google, and ExxonMobil.

2. 4% are their puppets:
- These are individuals or entities who benefit from their association with the 1% and often act in alignment with their interests. They might include politicians, lobbyists, media conglomerates, and certain celebrities who promote the agendas of the elite.
- Examples might include legislators heavily influenced by corporate donations, media channels with strong ties to specific political or corporate interests, and celebrities who endorse products or causes for financial gain.

3. 90% are asleep:
- This group represents the majority of the population who are not actively engaged in understanding or challenging the systems of power around them. They may be distracted, apathetic, or unaware of the issues affecting them.
- Examples could encompass a large portion of the general populace who are more focused on day-to-day living, entertainment, and immediate concerns rather than broader societal issues.

4. 5% know what's going on and try to wake the 90%:
- This group is made up of activists, whistleblowers, intellectuals, and critical thinkers who aim to raise awareness, challenge the status quo, and inspire the wider population to question authority and demand change.
- Examples may include organizations like Amnesty International, Edward Snowden (whistleblower), Noam Chomsky (public intellectual), and activists like Greta Thunberg.

The puzzle you've outlined suggests a dynamic where the 1% utilize the 4% to maintain control and prevent the awakening of the 90% by thwarting the efforts of the 5%. This narrative reflects various theories and critiques of power structures, influence networks, and societal manipulation present in different forms throughout history and across cultures.
 
This is what Plato ascribed to an allegory of the cave.. only few people see the light and try to tell their fellow. But the tragedy is the truth that we don't see the world in a similar mode though it is the same world.
