Reply to comment by OblongRectum in A Singular Trajectory: the Signs of AGI by mjrossman

If your standard of living and quality of life are so great that you are effectively immortal and without serious want, then who cares how much the rich are hoarding?

The value of their wealth sharply drops in meaning if everyone else is well off enough to say "eh, so? Who cares what's in your bank account!?!?"

I take it you haven't watched or read altered carbon. It would be like if only billionairs were immortal and the rest of us were slaves under threat of having to pay off our debts by selling our physical bodies to our debtors.
