This is one of those beliefs that can lead to a slippery slope. Yes, from an empirical perspective it needs to happen. But are we okay with how it’s likely to happen? Because the path we’re on has the honest and humble proletariat taking the brunt of the blow while the elite lap up the freshly available assets.

Any attempt to alter that trajectory will probably lead to the same tribalistic and knee-jerk violence that breeds authoritarianism and racism and will not further the progressive cause of coexistence.

So no matter what happens, we’ll likely end up in the same place a few hundred years later.

Or maybe I’m wrong?
