The fact that authoritarianism has been the historically dominant form of human government proves nothing aside from our lack of confidence in ourselves combined with a fundamental laziness about making decisions. If the morbidly rich and their tool tfg prevail, the world will slide into an authoritarian hellscape miserable for the many and a delight for the few. Should our species go that route, for me, that means it will have failed. It will have surrendered what could have made it worthy. Were it not for the fact that the means of our self-extinction will likely take most other life on earth with it, I would be all for it in that event. Maybe I still would. After all, the cockroaches have been waiting billions of years for their chance to rule, and might well be better at it.
