If the changes are widespread and seemingly irrational, then there are forces at work beyond those posited. Oligarchs are morons. Gates is a moron. His mother at IBM probably slept with someone to get his business started. And the rest are not called useful idiots for nothing.

All this sound and fury is slouching to something, but not what anyone expects. Perhaps a sensible reversal of this nonsense, perhaps a biological evolution that will remove the individual ego, or perhaps an emergence of a new order of man and machine like Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

Be careful what you wish for. "Elite" attempts at modeling the future have been pathetic at best.

Policy seems to be to sprint fulltilt into a wall and then rinse repeat. There are never lessons learned and the absolute worst of us are promoted to positions of power 🤣😭😵
