The "good" news is that gravity hates the Tower of Babel that every society inevitably produces.
It is buoyancy. It lifts few people up very high as they push down more that go down under the waves.
The gravity at work here is economics, as seen through the lens of people. People, it turns out, don't flourish in captivity.
For some reason, capital is currently consolidating at the top.
Disadvantage: the kulaks.
