Allowing such a market to arise is a societal problem. Thankfully the future can still be changed, if we want to badly enough
- _nalply 2y agoIt's the nature of things. One word: evolution! Let's imagine a society where power grabs are checked. Then we have an unstable equilibrium. Lucky and shrewd persons can become able to evade the checks. It's a bit like immunity of bugs to poisons. Bugs that die off don't reproduce so the system is self-selecting to immune bugs. It's a pity.
