And you know damned well they won't build the versions they should build.

Humanity isnt aligned so I wouldn’t expect them to.
People accept the status quo of nation states with the George H Bush “new world order” as if that’s just the path we should be on, rather than the one we happen to be on because of US decisions decades ago which raped everything downstream.
If you’re long humanity you are long the idea that humanity can coalesce around certain primitives including not destroying itself.
Just because that’s not the current path doesnt mean that’s not where we ought go, nor that we can’t get there.
These parasites won’t top the tree forever. I don’t think they’ll top it much longer.
The bigger problem IMO is the lack of alternative visions to coalesce around.
Last 20 or so years gave me hope that there is an alternative.
And I agree that this system will fall apart rather soon. No more then 50 years is my guestimate.
Just don't know if it will be Mad Max or Cyberpunk.
