In the past fifteen years I have come to realize that crypto anarchy will probably change all this, as it makes for a system where only a competent elite does well. Probably fifty million marginal Americans, including nearly all of the so-called "peoples of color," will, one hopes, fade away.I guess I'm more optimistic about human nature than you, Tim. If and when the day of reckoning comes, this is what I expect:
1. Great wailing and gnashing of teeth.
2. Probably a good deal of violence by some who have come to view parasitism as their right.
3. But once it becomes clear that the parasitic lifestyle is no longer viable, most will do what they have to do to survive: stop whining, stop looking for handouts, and learn to stand on their own two feet and make their own fortune.
