Simply amazing how so many otherwise intelligent people cannot see or even fathom the inherent dictatorial potential in stripping humans of their most basic human rights. It would only take two generations for the concept of human freedoms we have today to fade away completely. The movie “the matrix” wasn’t far from what the truth is becoming. Humans probable won’t become batteries but with the new “transhumanism” movement....who knows?
There was an episode of Black Mirror where everyone got up every day and pedaled an exercise bike for hours while watching TV. Their bedroom wall was also a TV screen. Then there was an audition for people to be on TV. Once you had your own show, you got a room with a window. The ending scene was a guy looking out his window at the green forest. That’s when you realize that everyone was pedaling to create electricity and no one was allowed to go outside. They had figured out how to save the planet from humans.
I suppose being super rich and having everyone around you do everything you say without question leads them to believe the rest of the worlds populations will do the same thing.
They think they’re gods.
