It is no wonder the Singularitarian fantasies have captured the imaginations of the world’s most zealously self-interested businesspeople: these visions promise ultimate, permanent power. The stated ambitions of America’s tech oligarchs are almost comically solipsistic—endless lifespans, superhuman powers, personal hyperspeed transport. They truly imagine themselves as a superior race. And while it is unlikely that they will attain everything they imagine, it is unfortunately true that this hyper-elite class will reap the benefits of any new technologies society develops, while the costs will fall, as ever, on the rest of us. This will not be a situation without precedent. It’s exactly how things were with the rotten kings of yore. But if history teaches us one thing, it’s that complex problems often have simple solutions. Off with their heads.

lol damn
