    A better tactic for overall humanity to prosper is to enact ways of capping or limiting absurd levels of wealth and also providing a basic living income for everyone. A world where no one is allowed to completely fail to the point of facing death or an early grave as well as a world where no one is allowed to have so much power over others that they can literally destabilize the entire world.

      That sounds great too. But let’s stop elderly people from controlling us. When I reach that age, I don’t plan on making decisions for everyone else.

        If you build a more equitable society … then the elderly would be less likely to be in government. A more equitable society and civilization would have more opportunities for younger people rather than the elderly holding onto power until they died.

          You’re still not saying anything about what should be done. “Make it more fair.” Ok, how?

          I proposed an action. Cut off voting at a specific age. How are you building equity?
