In the article "Balance of Power," the main threat to the future is not technology, but excessive concentration of power.
🔴 The world is governed by three forces: states, large corporations, and mass movements. Each of them is useful, but becomes dangerous when it gains too much power.
🔴 The balance, which previously arose spontaneously, is now disrupted due to technology and automation, amplifying the "winner takes all" effect.

According to the law of powers, the current average asset value is approximately $117,000.
