I meant fragmentation is good, I misspoke. I agreed with a lot of PGs evidence but drew the opposite conclusion. Fragmentation in that people are less tied to companies, countries, organizations, and religion.
I hope this means that as these descriptors fade, people will relate on individual levels and cooperate. Essentially, this is how society improves and the "income inequality" will be offset by the better measuring stick quality of life. i think that fragmentation in pgs sense, from companies and old patterns, is good.
Smart people are getting wealthy and, while am edge case, Elon Musk has had an impact on earth that it could accelerate the pace of technology by decades. So it doesn't matter if income goes down, people can fix the world for a lot less than they used to be able to and things tend to approach their marginal cost.
Tl, dr
am bullish on the individual, technology and less structured institutions.
