Yes. I think that is exactly it.
In the 21st century, the food production, the technology, the automation -- it has all reached the point that, if sensibly managed by self-interested people who were locally involved in the economic engines, I think we could have something of a paradise.

Much of what has been going on for the past few decades has been an attempt to block people from figuring this out. We don't need them. They need us -- specifically: they need us to remain ignorant.
