The wealthy and powerful think they are immune from the realities the plebeians face.
They are entitled, privileged, and think they can escape the ravages of war and climate change.

They buy land in remote locations on Earth to build their enclaves.

At some point they own all the money and resources on the planet and no longer need
worker bees who make the junk they sell. They own it all, the planet, the resources, the politicians,
the courts, etc. The general population is then superfluous.

Like Musk they put their sperm and eggs in cold storage to populate a new world once they trash this one.

Yes humans are complex creatures. Capable of the most heinous crimes against humanity.
But also capable of the utmost beauty, art, music, works of literature, love, kindness and sacrifice.

But yes at the end of the day, I would never trust humans.
