That’s all too abstract and too emphatic. They have the power and the money and so far any problem they’ve had, they’ve been able to solve by using either their power or their money. Clearly, they believe that will be the case in the future as well. And so they cling to their sources of wealth and power because they think those will keep them safe.
That indeed doesn’t bode well for our future, whether it’s about the climate, AI, nuclear power or anything else.
It’s maddening. The power of propaganda is truly impressive.
