    Figures. The wealthy could never fully buy power with just wealth, there was always someone smarter that was a threat. Now, they can just buy intelligence, thanks to AI, and crush everything else with their sheer weight.

    Is this the great filter? The ultimate fate of all species?

      You’re on the right track though
