[tangental]Allow me to take this too far, since I've been reading a lot of news feeds in the wrong light. This mad scramble for value, control, and power seems to give credence to the idea that as civilization crumbles the elites isolate themselves from the consequences of collapse as long as they can, while people in general bear the consequences. You get a lot of short-term thinking by people with power, propping up broken or flawed systems just hoping to ride it out instead of allowing civilization to evolve toward a potentially successful model.[way tangental] or I'm just going a little nuts.
