    Aside from the joke, the reality is that the work required to get the wealth to the point where they have complete control will need to be done by human hands. Until they can have robots making robots making robots, they will require human labor which will require human cooperation.

    Creating robots is no simple task and requires long supply chains that create a significant attack surface. Copper, steel, ceramics, ammo, batteries, computer chips, etc all have to come from somewhere. Power grid infrastructure becomes even more critical when robots are the only thing protecting you.

    That’s why I am less concerned that the Epstein class will be able to pull something like this off. Our current system is in active collapse, and their continued existence is predicated on the current system remaining in place.
