Here's the thing that you haven't taken into account with your post: rejuvenation research. Let's say we discover/invent AI. What do we set it to do? We solve the world's biggest problem and create the biggest company ever: conquer aging. Do you think you'd stay on the sidelines if a rich guy could buy immortality and you couldn't?

Yes. Even if I was starving, I want to believe I could not steal from my neighbor (morals). And not sell my kids into state-slavery (the ability to take in trillions of income from some and outlay it to others is the ultimate power and it will ultimately corrupt anyone who tries to own it or live on it).

  Revolution without bloodshed is next to impossible, sadly. Rejuvenation? AI? Those are the biggest revolution-causing triggers humans will ever come to see.

    Elections were (IMO) meant to be bloodless revolutions. its just the 1% has captured both primary political parties. Also, the flawed first past the post electoral system discourages competition (IMO to keep it cheaper for the 1% to own the whole process).

  Taxes are "state-slavery"?

The fight for Universal Longevity is going to be the next big healthcare battle after Universal Healthcare. I don't think it will be as difficult of a battle, though.
