I feel like literally everyone knows this now but theres so much invested in it theres no backing out.
Too many billionaires have a need to invest and a need for future gains. It's a mental compulsion.

Here here! well said!
Many dystopian science fiction books have already become reality. Look at "Enemy of the State" for example.
Heck, back in like what 1971? Enders game predicted the whole internet Influencer concept.
fwiw Ender's Game was published in 1985. (Based on a short story from 1977, but that story didn't have that subplot with Peter and Valentine.)
