> reap broad economic and security benefits Does anyone still buy this? The economy is disproportionately controlled by a few (adjust the threshold you check at, it remains a large disparity for awhile). Economic benefits are often at odds with benefits for the median American. Check the number of tech layoffs and H1B approvals this year. And for security, I had to move my family to a rural town just so we didn’t have to lock our doors at night. Security is heading the same direction as wealth - reserved for a select few. |

> ushering in a new Golden Age of innovation, human flourishing
Seriously, at this point in the timeline of human evolution, does any single living being believe that there is a single government which genuinely wants to see humans ‘flourishing’ as a whole?
It has been objectively proven time and time again that every government across this giant marble cares about one thing: themselves — by proxy of self care their owners/donors obviously get to reap the benefits.
I am really dumbfounded as to what kind mental gymnastics need to be mastered to believe that any technological advancements will not be abused by government and corporations alike to further entrench themselves and continue re-enslaving the majority of the populace while in the process.
