To have the only expression of a super identity to be through the complexities of coordinated action, keeping in mind that much of the action may be carried out by automation having a degree of intelligence itself. Will it be feasible to discriminate a corporation of true super identities (e.g. humans) in a virtual world (e.g. General Electric) from one that is engineered by one super identity? If not, does this benefit the existing power structures, or charlatans, or is it the meek inheriting the (virtual) earth?
