I think the positive polyanna stuff is good but this is a stretch. The difference today is technology. Man has always trended toward corruption, that hasn't changed. BUT the fact they can create drones, phones, internal tracking devices, push jabs that kill and likely load you with nanotechnology and the like, I just have no idea how things are going to turn out fine. We're going to be able to get all this technology into the hands of good folks? That would be the only way and I have to laugh at even the thought of that. Good men do not do what needs to be done to get rid of bad men. It's like guns. Bad men will always have them. Good men follow rules and give them up. The good man on earth can't win.

Nice story. Maybe the shining new world will be awesome but it’s going to be built on the devastation of all of us right now. We are going to starve; go to war; have nothing to keep our freezers full of food going; no money so properties will be confiscated and people will die trying to do that; sickness from lack of food and energy. He doesn’t talk about all of what will happen, first, before his new world crawls out of the mess. That “first to happen” stuff would be us. I would like a different story for right now. A way to avoid the collapse part and the tyranny part. Just sayin’
