Chapter 145: D.F.G. & M.AI.

  [LIVE BROADCAST — PRESS CONFERENCE AT LOUISIANA STATE CAPITOL, BATON ROUGE]

  Massive marble hall. Fgs of the 6C Confederation fnk the podium. Dozens of global media outlets present — CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, RT, NHK, and Pan-African Now.

  SPEAKERS:

  Elise Carter – National Chairman of 6C (poised, in cream linen suit)

  Naomi Chen – National Communication Director of 6C (charismatic, in minimalist teal ensemble)

  [Naomi Chen steps up to the mic, fshes a calm smile]

  Naomi Chen:

  “Thank you all for coming. Today, we formally unveil the framework that’s been quietly reshaping the socioeconomic reality of millions across our twenty-state region: the 6C Dual Metrics System — comprising the Distributed Fulfillment Gradient (DFG) and the Male Access Index (MAI).”

  [Graphic Slides Begin Appearing on Giant Screens Behind Them]

  Naomi (gesturing toward visual):

  “Let’s begin with the DFG. Traditional macroeconomic models — GDP, consumption growth, asset velocity — are blind to fulfillment. They ignore who is stable, who is protected, who feels human.”

  [Slide: 5 Radiating Petals – "Food & Habitat," "Child Custody," "Trust Participation," "Spiritual Belonging," "Emotional Bance"]

  Naomi:

  “Each femme group, as an economic micro-unit, is assessed based on its ability to deliver human infrastructure — not just housing or employment, but protection, belonging, and shared power.”

  [Press murmurs as second chart loads: MAI Heatmap]

  Naomi:

  “Next is MAI — the Male Access Index. This metric reveals a hidden economic drought: millions of men in liberal economies with no partners, no progeny, and no social anchor. The MAI doesn’t measure wealth. It measures access to dignity.”

  [Slide: Stick figure man with 0 = red. Man with 4 wives, 2 concubines, 3 children = green, MEQ = 23.]

  Naomi (with subtle edge):

  “You’ve seen the protests. ‘Zero girlfriend.’ That’s a cry of structural exclusion. Our model offers a reguted remedy.”

  [Elise Carter steps in now, projecting calm authority]

  Elise Carter:

  “The femme trust system, backed by both DFG and MAI, ensures that power is not hoarded, but distributed. Trusts are anti-fragile collectives. They uplift marginalized women. They absorb low-MEQ men. And they realign incentives for social cooperation over atomized chaos.”

  [Final Slide: Slogan]

  “Shared Bodies. Shared Power. Stable Future.”

  6C Economic Doctrine — Officially Executed.

  Naomi (to the crowd):

  “We welcome tough questions. But we ask you to consider: is this truly a new system? Or are we simply making visible the structures that always governed intimacy and power — and giving them a name, a shape, and a policy?”

  [Reporters erupt with questions — BBC, NYT, Le Monde, Al Jazeera, BuzzFeed News — all raising hands. Elise gestures for the first.]

  [Q & A SESSION — 6C ECONOMIC MODEL PRESS CONFERENCE | LOUISIANA STATE CAPITOL, BATON ROUGE]

  [Naomi Chen and Elise Carter seated at the podium. Aides adjust microphones. The press floor opens.]

  1. BBC News (UK):

  Journalist: “Naomi, critics in Westminster are calling the DFG a ‘moralized caste system cloaked in feminist nguage.’ How do you respond to accusations that 6C is merely rebranding social control?”

  Naomi Chen:

  “Because we measure fulfillment, not just capital, people confuse us with authoritarianism. But this isn’t about caste — it’s about infrastructural dignity. A femme group can form in a rural shed or a penthouse. What matters is mutual support, not social optics.”

  2. The New York Times (US):

  Journalist: “Elise, isn’t the Male Access Index dangerously reductionist? Critics say it turns men into breeders whose worth hinges solely on number of partners and children.”

  Elise Carter:

  “On the contrary, the MAI corrects a social lie—that the modern man is ‘free’ when in fact, millions are spiritually isoted and emotionally bankrupt. We simply quantify what society silently punishes men for cking: roots, family, and belonging.”

  3. Le Monde (France):

  Journalist (in French-accented English): “Is there a risk that the ‘femme trusts’ grow too powerful? What safeguards exist to prevent corruption within these collectives?”

  Naomi Chen:

  “Excellent question. The Anti-Dominance Cuse within the Wife Femme provision mandates rotational leadership and transparent audit logs. No trust can monopolize resources or custody unless reviewed by cross-trust juries. Think of it as economic anti-trust w, for collectives.”

  4. Al Jazeera (Qatar):

  Journalist: “You cited Surah Al-Mu’minun earlier. Is 6C becoming an Ismic polity? And how do you reconcile this with secur frameworks?”

  Elise Carter:

  “6C is scripturally plural. We draw from Torah, Bible, Quran, but we are not theocratic. Sacred texts reveal patterns of governance we respect — but we don’t enforce belief. The ‘Concubine Cuse’, for example, is civic policy, not a religious rite.”

  5. BuzzFeed News (US):

  Journalist: “Naomi, be real. Isn’t this whole system just a ‘velvet cage’ for both genders? Women get power, men get sex — but no one gets freedom.”

  Naomi Chen (smiling):

  “Freedom from what? Atomized depression? Swipe culture? Empty hustle? We’re not offering chains — we’re offering structure. And yes, people crave structure. The only cage is pretending we don’t.”

  6. CNN (US):

  Journalist: “With rising youth support across social media, is 6C pnning to export this model internationally?”

  Elise Carter:

  “Let’s be honest: young people are starving for coherence. Our goal isn’t export — it’s resonance. If others want to emute, we’ll consult. But 6C’s doctrine is post-liberal, not imperial.”

  7. Fox News (US):

  Journalist (pointed tone): “Elise, Naomi — is this just another form of elite-driven social engineering? From where we sit, it looks like you’re rebranding authoritarianism with feminist glitter.”

  Naomi Chen (coolly):

  “You're entitled to skepticism. But ask yourself: who built the st hundred years of social engineering? Corporate monopolies. Pharma-fed psyches. Hypersexualized isotion. We’re not engineering — we’re redistributing agency. Call it glitter, but it’s backed by metrics.”

  8. ABC News (US):

  Journalist: “Do you fear revolt within your own movement? Not all women agree with concubinage. Not all men want a metrics-based identity.”

  Elise Carter:

  “We expect tension. That’s growth. Femme trusts are voluntary, not conscripted. Concubinage is opt-in, not imposed. MAI is descriptive, not punitive. And when dissenters leave? That’s part of the system’s dynamism. We absorb or we let go — but we don’t colpse.”

  [APPLAUSE from several femme trust delegates watching from upper balcony. Some press whisper into phones, others begin tweeting. Naomi and Elise exchange a knowing gnce.]

  how the fallout unfolds in four tiers after the explosive 6C press conference at Baton Rouge:

  1) Global Media Reactions

  – The Guardian (UK):

  “Post-liberal patriarchy dressed as cooperative feminism”

  The Guardian critiques the model as “functionally regressive,” arguing the MAI reduces men to “womb-dependent value tokens” while femme trusts act like “family monopolies.”

  – Die Zeit (Germany):

  “Economic pluralism or cult-state mathematics?”

  A long-form editorial praises the structural innovation of femme trusts but warns of ideological overreach when emotional bor is formally audited.

  – The Hindu (India):

  “Distributed Fulfillment: India’s youth watching closely”

  Indian analysts compare it to historical joint-family economics, noting parallels in dowry evolution and inter-generational female collectivism.

  – NHK (Japan):

  Japan’s national broadcaster aired a special titled “Post-Love Society: American Experiments in Intimacy Economics”, focusing on the gender-coded behavioral nudges embedded in the MAI.

  – RT (Russia):

  “Americans build harem communism while mocking ours”

  State media mocks Western hypocrisy, calling it “polygamous liberalism with spreadsheets.”

  2) Influencer Reactions

  – Zara Lin (@HaremUprising):

  “Naomi and Elise just dropped a generational blueprint. Imagine empowering women and solving involuntary celibacy... with one architecture.”

  Trend: #FemmeFuture #FemmeTrustNow

  “This. Is. Liberation. My trust has four concubines now and two ex-moms living peacefully. We do what churches pretended to do.”

  – Dr. Emilia Garner (feminist schor):

  “The DFG is seductive dystopia. Naomi calls it dignity. I call it a gamified uterus-management scheme.”

  3) Satirical TV Responses

  – SNL (Saturday Night Live):

  Cold open: Biden fumbles a press statement reading off the “MAI” metric, confused why his score is 0. Kama asks if a one-night stand counts as ‘femme trust engagement.’

  — Audience erupts.

  – The Daily Show (guest host Ziwe):

  “6C said: Let women own the assets, hold the babies, and lead the communes... Men? Y’all get concubine coupons and hope. Good luck!”

  **– John Oliver on HBO:

  “Imagine expining to your 10-year-old: ‘Yes honey, mommy left to become a concubine so she could be part of a trust to save daddy’s economic rating.’”

  **– TikTok Sketches:

  Widespread trend:

  “POV: You’re the sixth girl he brings home ‘for the metrics’”

  Over-the-top femme group interviews that py like job applications — “Can you cook? Share custody? Help file taxes?”

  “I joined a trust as a kitchen manager. I’m not even married. I just needed a community. They call me ‘Uncle Buckle.’ I’m fine with it.”

  @altlib_marx:

  “Naomi Chen’s aesthetic is ‘postmodern prophet meets LinkedIn influencer’ and I’m here for it.”

  TV DEBATE: "Economics in a New Moral Order – The 6C Model"

  Aired on PBS Nightline Special | Moderated by Dana Raines

  Panelists:

  Dr. Arturo Vesquez – Market Socialist Economist, author of “Cooperative Capital: Human Dignity in Economic Form”

  Dr. Helen Trask – Laissez-faire Capitalist, senior fellow at the Liberty Markets Institute, columnist for The Wall Street Journal

  Moderator (Dana Raines):

  “Tonight, we dissect the newest economic framework shaking the American heartnd: the 6C Distributed Fulfillment Gradient, including the Male Access Index. Is this moral economics or authoritarian theater? Let’s begin.”

  Dr. Arturo Vesquez (Market Socialist):

  “The DFG and MAI, surprisingly, address what conventional metrics like GDP miss: fulfillment, access, retional wealth. By empowering femme trusts to manage real assets and community functions, 6C reintroduces collectivist pnning—but through voluntary micro-communes.”

  Dr. Helen Trask (Laissez-faire):

  “Let’s not romanticize it. We’re watching price signals colpse under social engineering. You can’t arbitrarily peg a man’s economic value to womb access. Nor can you assign property rights to retionship dynamics. It’s Orwellian in lingerie.”

  Moderator:

  "Dr. Vesquez, how do you respond to critiques that this is top-down, coercive central pnning wrapped in soft nguage?"

  Vesquez:

  “The system isn’t coercive—concubinage is voluntary, femme trusts operate like co-ops, and even the MAI is incentive-based, not punitive. It's a nudge system, not a boot. Honestly, it’s behavioral economics applied to mating markets.”

  Trask:

  “But who designs the nudges? Who defines value? The state. You’re one legistive tweak away from forced concubinage quotas. And let’s not forget: the market already rewards high-performing men and women. 6C’s model subsidizes mediocrity and calls it compassion.”

  Moderator:

  "Let’s address the Male Access Index. Some argue it’s a disguised welfare system for socially disenfranchised men. Thoughts?"

  Vesquez:

  “Yes, and that’s the point. Market failures in love and family formation are real. The MAI offers a structured, dignified way to re-integrate men without destabilizing communities.”

  Trask:

  “You’re handing out women like vouchers. It’s retionship communism. The beauty of capitalism is that it doesn’t guarantee love—it guarantees freedom.”

  Closing Statements:

  Vesquez:

  “6C is experimenting with love as infrastructure. Imperfect? Sure. But far more humane than the alienation of neoliberal colpse.”

  Trask:

  “6C economics is lipstick on a patriarchal technocracy. It turns intimacy into math and redistributes sex like it's universal healthcare. No thanks.”

  Post-Debate Viewer Poll (Live):

  52% Favorable to Vesquez

  38% Favorable to Trask

  Viewer Q&A Segment – Live Audience Question

  Submitted via PBS App by “Maya in Boulder, CO”

  Question:

  "If the Femme Trust model and MAI are so revolutionary, why are we seeing the earliest adopters in areas with historically low female empowerment? Isn’t this just repackaged patriarchy?"

  Dr. Arturo Vesquez (Market Socialist):

  “Excellent observation. It’s true: rollout began in traditionally conservative states. But ironically, that’s where community structures—like churches or kin-based networks—are already in pce. Femme Trusts leverage those familiar structures while flipping the power axis. Women now manage custody, nd, and bor flows. Yes, men gain partners—but only if Femme Trusts approve. It’s not patriarchy. It’s adaptive power-sharing.”

  Dr. Helen Trask (Laissez-faire Capitalist):

  “I’d say Maya has nailed the contradiction. This isn’t emancipation—it’s gilded patriarchy with a bureaucratic twist. Women ‘managing’ custody or property sounds empowering—until you realize the state still frames the terms. Voluntary or not, if a woman’s freedom hinges on joining a registered trust or becoming someone’s concubine, you’re not innovating, you’re branding feudalism.”

  Moderator (Dana Raines):

  "Sharp points from both sides. Now let’s check the updated viewer sentiment poll before we wrap."

  Updated Live Poll (Post Q&A):

  57% Favorable to Dr. Vesquez

  35% Favorable to Dr. Trask

  8% Undecided

  Viewer Q&A Segment – Question #2 (from “Khalid in Detroit, MI”)

  "Is it arrogant for conventional economists to condemn 6C economics while mainstream econometrics are full of falcies and lies?”

  Dr. Arturo Vesquez (Market Socialist):

  "Arrogant? Maybe. But understandable. The academic establishment has long used aggregates like GDP or inftion, which often obscure inequality or human development. 6C’s Distributed Fulfillment Gradient and MAI are experimental, yes—but they do attempt to measure fulfillment and retional equity, not just consumption. Critics should engage with the model before dismissing it.”

  Dr. Helen Trask (Laissez-faire Capitalist):

  "It’s not arrogance—it’s defense of rigor. Yes, mainstream metrics are imperfect. But repcing them with politically-engineered metrics built around group identity and sexual arrangements? That’s not innovation, it’s ideological theater. If you want to fix econometrics, reform them—don’t repce them with cult math.”

  Updated Viewer Poll (Post Q&A 2):

  Viral Social Media Reactions:

  X (Twitter):

  @NeoEconWitch: “Dr. Trask calling DFG ‘cult math’ is exactly why people are turning to new models. The old guard hates being questioned.”

  @RedStateReform: “If GDP lies, then maybe ‘sex-driven metrics’ aren’t worse. MAI makes more sense than ‘consumer confidence index’ ever did.”

  @FemmeTrustTX: “Yes. Yes it IS arrogant. Feminist economists have warned about GDP bias for decades. Now that we propose a femme-centered index, suddenly it’s ‘ideological’?”

  TikTok (Clips under #MAITruth):

  15-second cut of Vesquez defending DFG captioned “Finally, someone said it.”

  A remix of Dr. Trask saying “cult math” followed by “Matrix glitch” sound effect.

  TV Anchor Reactions to the Social Media Firestorm

  Live Broadcast: CNN Prime Roundtable

  Anchor 1 – Julian Reeds (Center-left, veteran anchor):

  "What we’re witnessing is a generational rift. Gen Z and younger millennials are tching onto the 6C economic models—not necessarily because they believe in polygamy or concubine cuses, but because they're done with traditional systems that seem detached from reality. Whether it’s DFG or MAI, it feels like something new, and that alone is powerful."

  Anchor 2 – Rachel Lin (Center-right, economic correspondent):

  "But it’s also an emotional reaction. Let's not forget, most of these viral posts aren’t quoting academic critiques. They’re remixing ‘cult math’ jokes and posting meme polls about GDP. This isn’t intellectual discourse—it’s economic cospy. That’s dangerous when policies are actually being implemented."

  Anchor 3 – Tariq Beshara (Pop culture & tech expert):

  "Yet isn’t that how all new paradigms gain traction? Through nguage that feels authentic to the era. MAI and DFG are speaking visually and virally. People don’t want lectures—they want frameworks they can meme, debate, remix, and internalize. TikTok is more powerful than the Fed right now in shaping how people see value and fulfillment."

  On-screen graphics:

  #MAITruth trending in 16 cities

  TikTok clip of “cult math” hits 3.4M views

  Buzzfeed Poll: “Would You Join a Femme Trust if Rent Was Free?” – 62% YES

  Julian Reeds (closing note):

  "When memes move markets—and maybe even marriages—we’re not in Kansas anymore. Or maybe... we’re just in Louisiana under 6C."

  ***

  Fox News: "Polygamy, Power, and Post-Truth Economics?"

  Host: Laura Ingram

  "This so-called '6C economic system' being paraded around like the future of America is nothing short of techno-authoritarian polygamy dressed up as liberation. They’ve turned motherhood into a data point and masculinity into a loyalty metric. And we’re supposed to call it 'progress'? What’s next, repcing the dolr with retionship tokens?"

  Guest – Senator Grace Holloway (R-AZ):

  "It’s deeply disturbing. This is social engineering—and worse, it’s exporting a bizarre blend of identity collectivism and soft-core dictatorship. If our young men are marching in the streets because they want six partners and our daughters are giving up property rights to join ‘Femme Trusts,’ then we’ve failed to teach freedom."

  The View (ABC)

  Sunny Hostin:

  "Look, this 'MAI and DFG' stuff is yered. Sure, it’s weird. But some of these metrics reflect just how broken our current system is. If a femme trust gives women economic leverage and protection in a male-dominated world, that’s worth unpacking—not just mocking."

  Alyssa Farah Griffin:

  "I disagree. There’s a danger in gmorizing any system that consolidates power—whether it’s under patriarchy or ‘femme collectives.’ Women trading political rights for economic safety isn’t liberation—it’s just oppression in a new shade."

  Whoopi Goldberg:

  "If I need a ‘trust’ to get custody of my own child or leave a man, that’s a red fg, honey. I’ve been around too long to fall for economic poly-tech utopia promises."

  *Satirical Late-Night Show – "The Night Cap with Devin Fox" (Comedy Central)

  [Opening monologue]

  "So apparently, under the new 6C model, men are measured by how many wives and concubines they have. Which means…congratutions to the guy in Abama with 7 baby mamas and no job—you just became a top 1% economic elite!"

  "And women can become ‘concubines’ to join a femme trust and get economic security. That’s right—dies, cancel your LinkedIn. Just join a cuddle cult with spreadsheets!"

  "Meanwhile, traditional economists are having meltdowns. One guy literally tweeted, ‘Is GDP dead?’ No, sir. It’s just polyamorous and under new management."

  Social Media Reactions to Above Shows:

  Twitter/X:

  “Whoopi nailed it: liberation with terms & conditions is still a leash.”

  “Devin Fox made me spit water—‘cuddle cult with spreadsheets’ is now canon.”

  “Honestly? If DFG beats GDP at measuring well-being, bring on the polyeconomy.”

  “Laura Ingram afraid of MAI because she’s never scored above zero.”

  ***

  Here’s how international media and prominent global voices are reacting to the viral 6C economic model rollout—particurly the Distributed Fulfillment Gradient (DFG) and Male Access Index (MAI):

  International Media Reactions

  The Guardian (UK)

  Headline: “A Polygamous Pnned Economy? U.S. Theocrats Launch Radical Gender-Based Metrics”

  Excerpt:

  "A hybrid of spiritual authoritarianism and social analytics, the 6C model continues to provoke outrage and intrigue across the Atntic. Critics say it mirrors crypto-feudalism wrapped in feminist aesthetics, while some economists argue its anti-aggregative approach is long overdue."

  Al Jazeera (Qatar)

  Panel Discussion Segment: "Polygamy, Power, and Metrics: The 6C Experiment in the West"

  Middle East Analyst:

  "Ironically, the American right once accused us of gender oppression. Now, their own breakaway states institutionalize concubinage under the banner of liberation."

  Economist from Istanbul University:

  "There’s academic value in rejecting aggregate models like GDP. But building an economic framework around intimacy metrics? That’s a civilizational gamble."

  Le Monde (France)

  Opinion Column Title: “L’économie de l'intimité: Une dystopie séduisante?”

  Quote:

  "The Male Access Index (MAI) functions less as an economic tool and more as a ritualized validation of male worth. If liberté, égalité, fraternité are missing, what remains is an algorithmic patriarchy gilded in matriarchal velvet."

  South China Morning Post (Hong Kong)

  Headline: “6C’s ‘Femme Trust’ System Draws Attention in Asia’s Gender Discourse”

  Commentary:

  "The dual-index model is paradoxical—female collectives hold immense socio-economic power, yet individual women sacrifice rights for affiliation. It mirrors both Confucian collectivism and Western libertarian irony."

  Der Spiegel (Germany)

  Analysis Title: “Gef?hrlicher Fortschritt: Wenn ?konomie zur sozialen Religion wird”

  Takeaway:

  "6C’s fusion of polygamy and economic redistribution signals a new phase of post-liberal governance. It asks: can satisfaction be engineered, and should men’s loneliness be an economic priority?"

  Global Influencer Reactions

  Dr. Chimamanda Adichie (Nigeria, via Instagram):

  “If women must forfeit political autonomy for safety in numbers, then it's not empowerment—it's collective submission disguised in velvet.”

  Yuval Noah Harari (Israel, on podcast):

  “The most fascinating aspect is not the polygamy—it’s the psychological datafication of human intimacy. The 6C model is not backward; it’s post-modern authoritarianism.”

  Greta Thunberg (Sweden, tweet):

  “Men measuring worth by concubines while the pnet burns. This is what dystopia looks like—wearing robes and economic graphs.”
