I hope nobody will kill me for commenting on my own comment, but the more I read writing from others, I suspect it's kind of our fault also. Should we create some new religion or some secret island, story or ideology for bored, rich and stupid elites? I mean it seriously, if it's true that this is just because they feel useless, but they have all the money, power and influence, shouldn't we do some kind of game for them to have something to chase?
Some secret language or place without map which they can conquer? Should we, as the plebs, really put our resources to create some ideological framework how to keep our elites busy and not to mess with us? I mean, some racing for them and some prices - they for sure love to win, they love to be smart, and they love to help people, but everything has been already discovered. Maybe, they need some adrenalin and when you are super rich, there is not much of it. Just an idea for thinking, but I feel, it might have some point
This is one of the reasons space colonization is absolutely crucial to maintaining a healthy society. It gives the elites a productive outlet. Further, as an unforgiving but highly rewarding arena, it should produce elites that are actually elite. Which we currently don't have.
I suppose there's no dice on bringing back combat tournaments? I am not optimistic that most of the powerful and wealthy elites could contribute much to space, but I'd bet a lot of them could don armor and pollax and fight it out in the arena.
I would also accept a suitably deadly American Gladiators style outlet for elites.
I mine would be too, although I could see Gates snapping into berserk rage if really pushed. Killary I think might be too cold blooded and might be taken aback if so. I am not sure that woman has warm feelings of any sort inside her.
Well, maybe, but just to add one more point. I don't think that we have become somehow super evolved. There is a lot of work on planet earth, I personally see so many things which would need renovation or innovation and for sure in America is that too. The thing is that someone set up economy that it's more beneficial to split and resell anything for better price or outsource it to third world than to build new and better. That's the so-called financialization.
So no, there is a lot of work, but someone has setup the system wrongly to benefit different activities and orientations. There is plenty of space, and you can build above, inside or improve anything you want.
They just have to stop with cheap labor from third world, outsourcing and with dept accumulation - they have to start repaying their dept. That's the only thing which we need to do in the system to fix this, and the craziness will end.

I would pay good money for ringside seats to watch Bill Gates have a go at Hillary Clinton with a spiked mace.
Honestly my money would be on Killary.
