A Boring Dystopia

I think that concentrating too much wealth / power into a person’s hands affects their mental health. The stuff billionaires focus on behind closed doors would be considered psychosis in a homeless person, but they articulate it on fancy stages and suddenly it’s normalized. Power and money control needs to be as decentralized as possible. Even if it means things move slower, it’s better than unilateral power in the hands of a small group of malignant narcissists surrounded by sycophants.
