There is a danger. The select few of “us” who are “more equal” will become “them”.
How do you think slavery sustains itself? A few slaves get to become slave-masters when the old masters die.
I guess it boils down to the age old questions of what is the value of a human life, and who gets to decide what laws we base upon the answer to the first question.
What I meant was that “they” can not just simply erase “us” from existence once we stop providing them enough value, I believe in a revolution of some kind if such practices were to be tried.
Though I do not believe it would be rational nor beneficial for the elites at the first place, I was just pointing out that there is little chance of that happening.
