I'd disagree with this, from the sense of - one thing that has proven almost universally consistent throughout all human history: there is no such thing as too much power, or too much wealth. People, when given these things, crave more. It's not even necessarily a _character_ failing - it's the same feedback loops to various receptors in our brain.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoAgain, even taking your opinion regarding "there is no such thing as too much power, or too much wealth" 100% at face value (which I also happen to pretty much agree with): The richest segments of global society have grown much richer and more powerful for nearly half a century. If your goal is to grow your wealth and power pretty much at all costs, again, the "current world order" is working great for the elites - why would they risk f'ing that up?
- FireBeyond 3y agoWell, as you say, the current world order is working great for them. So perhaps the "new world order" isn't "throw it all away and rebuild from scratch", but a careful polishing and refining of all the things that are currently working well for the elite. A min-max'ing, so to speak.
