About time for God to hit the reset button, and remind Man of his place in the Natural Order.
Alas, Brave New Babylon.
And we'll have front row seats.
Yeah. See, the elites just THINK they’ve got a handle on this technology. That whole personal firearm thing they invented to allow THEIR peasants to kill the OTHER guy’s peasants more efficiently is only just now being mitigated. Hundreds of years later. The elites found out, the hard way, that not only could their peasants kill the other guys peasants. They could also kill the other guy. And them. It’s already difficult for the average elite to exist without a protective bubble of security and highly secret schedules.
This tech means the elites will spend their lives in ultra secure caves, never going outside. No spontaneous visits to restaurants or trips to high end stores. It will be decades (if not longer) before tech exists to ‘sterilize’ those environs to be safe enough. They can forget their kids playing polo in the bright Florida sunshine. Or sculling on the Charles River. Or having beautiful outdoor weddings.
The elite vs. elite conflicts might be the most spectacular of all. After all, you and I don’t really have anything the elite are really interested in. Other elites however...
