the mason question

[Speaker to Animals]

Who-you-know has advanced well past whatever power the Masons may have had. Nothing guarantees success in life like Uncle Rick, and money is the only thing everyone admires.

I wonder how long a high tech society can last like that, though.

Eventually the nepotism and affirmative action has to choke the life out of industry and innovation, no?

There's 10,000 people that can do any job so Uncle Rick just becomes the determining factor, not a hinderance. However, the other 9,999 people are starting to get pissed off, and that's causing some serious pressure on society. Tech has nothing to worry about but liberty is at extreme risk.
