Reply to comment by RabidHexley in The XIXth and the XXIIth century: about the ambient pessimism predicting a future of inequality and aristocratic power for the elites arising from the singularity by FomalhautCalliclea

Well put (same for the comment above).

People that think that rich people can ride the collapse remind me of some XVIIIth century economists that would make "robinsonnades", meaning that they would create fictional stories that sound like Robinson Crusoe, with economical agents starting in a non existing pure land with no previous inhabitant, out of nothingness, completely ignoring social structures, anthropology, etc.
