Yup. Reminds me of my ol'
with the implication being, with the prolific provision of the emancipatory technologies, even the richest are better off.
Recently, something was pointed out to me that made me realise, even if in some grand Robin Hood style remedy to the vast economic iniquity, instead the money just went "*poof*", even then, even they[and us all]'d still be better off. The economy would adjust, and even they would have more buying power, the monopoly's "anti-competitive" brakes would be taken off the economy, and the target would be taken off their back.
... But can you imagine the psychology in the psycho oligarch class... the game theory that would be spinning in their grand-narcissistic delusion of superiority and their absence of caring... How many of them would still be foolishly thinking "but if I were the only one who did not lose all their wealth, I would have total dominion over the world! Muhahahahah"!.
Oh to get each and all out of the malconditioned short-looping separationist win delusion, and into the longer now.
