I have a non-hot take on this:

Humans are just not evolved for billionaire levels of wealth/resource disparity.

For most of our evolution it was impossible to hoard that much power.

Of course these people begin to act completely nuts. They literally can’t help it.

Disclaimer: This is not a plea for communism or some other obsolete solution.

This brings up my main questions with mastodon and lemmy… who is going to pay the server costs at scale?

It would be nice if those mechanisms began sooner than later.
