It's also interesting to consider the things that we are making that are destined to decline and die. They aren't agentless pieces of the environment, a company with $3,000,000,000,000 does not go quiet into the night.

If you are on the path towards decline and you have a lot of money, you can then go buy a lot of power, and then you can make the ramp you are declining down point in a different direction.

So besides the bagholders, it feels like there's very few mechanisms for society to protect itself from massive companies that faced with pressure to grow or die decide to use their money and influence in ways that are net-negative to society.
