That being said, I'd rather we focus on peaceful endeavors that improve our quality of life, instead of on destroying things. That's a billionaire managerial class game, IMO. Make people dependent on the system so pleasing the managerial class becomes more important to survival. If history isba guide, this system will only last as long as the imperial order remains intact. There are many long term domestic & geopolitical pressures on the imperium & I would not be surprised if it collapses within my lifetime.
