One of my criteria for evaluating anything is scalability. For example, the average business mogul isn't scalable.
A society completely made up of people of that type and temper would be unlivable. They always have to win.
I think that I am scalable. A society full of me would look like Scandinavia, with everyone living closer to the mean.
There would be lots of differentiation but also a lot of social unity and community and tremendous public works.
I love public works: parks and museums and gardens and opera houses and trains and health care for everyone.
Writing this I'm convincing myself that I'm a pretty good guy. But most of our current leaders aren't good people.
They scale into a dystopian nightmare and I think that's where we're heading.
