It is an economic system that humans set up and humans can change, it's not some fundamental property of life itself.

- Supermancho 5y agoOne problem is that this pareto curve appears in every human political system ever, which lasts for a few decades or more. It looks to be inherent to human societies. When left unchallenged, the wealthy become the defacto oligarchs. Only the oppressively incompetent, lazy, and corruption-competition of representative democracies seem to slow it down. In the govt being so slow, oligarchs get little direct control in their lifetime. Additionally, public scrutiny of the ultra wealthy (say 10 men) is relatively manageable, further hindering the indirect control. Ofc, maybe this is just my wishful thinking.
