> Also a lot of problems in society seem to be linked to wealth disparity. Dystopian visions of the future are almost always dystopian due to wealth disparity. Who’s working on solving that?

>> The communists. Didn't work out well.

Just wondering why you would think your comment adds any additional context to the original post? Is that a snide at communism just because you dislike it? Or are you saying that communism is the only way to solve the problems of wealth disparity and that it has failed in the past and we can never have any semblance of equality in the world?

I replied to "who is" with an answer.

BTW, replying to a post by adding "all" or "only" is simply being argumentative if what you're replying to did not include those words, and so adds no value. For example:

Statement: "Humans are bipedal"

Riposte: "Not all humans are bipedal, some only have one leg!"

This seems like a defensive comment based on your disagreement with GP’s direct answer to a question. Sorry if this sounds snarky, but I really think you are overthinking their response.
