Wisdom versus Vigilantism

The assassin character was ultimately revealed in the CEO assassin story. The guy's name was Luigi Mangione or something like that--it doesn't really matter. The story could be real, or fake and staged. It's impossible to know.

Is the predatory, parasitic system going to change because a single CEO was murdered? Probably not. If a bunch of similar incidents happened, let's say 20, maybe there would be a change for a while, but eventually it would revert back to its current predatory, parasitic path.

The only thing that would really change the whole system would be a change in the people. People are so stupid and foolish now that I'm not sure "the system" can even continue to function. Routine maintenance on basic infrastructure will soon become impossible because of a lack of competent people to do basic things like fix water and sewer lines.

"AI" and "robots" are a MacGuffin that will never really come to fruition.

Unfortunately, I think only hardship will make people wise up.
