Jesus. Leave it to the Irish to see tyranny's sails coming across the horizon. Centuries of 'training' and experience, I think.
Cromwell, with the ability to read all your conversations and interpret them with a paranoid Muskian mindset. I appreciate how this piece starts out in the innocuous language of (name your country / state / local govt) chamber of commerce 'pitch' and moves right into the dystopia of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil".

How are these people not bored out of their minds? It is no wonder that the ultra rich become deviant and dangerous. For all of their brilliance and innovation humans can’t escape the trait for self destruction. If nature can’t cull the human herd with disease and disaster it will use hubris and ignorance. None of us get out of here alive.

It’s a souless existence Becky.
Frightening to think that this or something like it is what Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are trying to create in the (formerly) United States.
To misquote W C Fields
" first prize is a day in UAE, second prize a week in UAE"
I can think of few places i'd rather not be.
