In systems which seek equilibrium, rebalancing from an imbalance can happen in many different ways.
Often, it’s a choice between controlled and chaotic.
Reading around, there’s a fair few intelligent people from a range of environments looking at various pieces of our current social-political-economic environment, and reading it as out of balance.
They tricky bit with these systems though, is that people with more social capital, more power, and more money are often a similar a group of people, and giving up connection, control and cash is painful for person. Especially someone who has plenty.
But if we’re in a system that seeks equilibrium, and I would contend that a global population of billions of individuals is random enough to drive back towards equilibrium, rebalancing will eventually occur.
They question is, will it be controlled, or chaotic?
