    Better off with everybody in at least sufficiency, if not abundance, even a rather egalitarian abundance with everybody afforded the best, because then they no longer have to live in fear, looking over their shoulder, dealing with the stress of having to maintain a constant deception over the impoverished masses, no longer having to maintain an army to protect them against the masses rising up. Ask them, “Do you have spaceships yet? And the reassurance everybody else does too, so they’re not wanting yours?” and then maybe the “better off” becomes apparent, beyond the mono-linear mundane wealth accumulation tower.
