    I sometimes wonder if the rich truly drink their own koolaid. Do some really believe their half baked ideas are true innovation and it isn't all the proles scrambling to implement them are doing the real work?

      A lot do, yeah. The ones who invented the lie sure didn't, and acted accordingly (saying it publicly, but taking steps to make sure their own excesses didn't implode everything).

      Their descendants though? They seriously thought that's how reality works, and plenty of people who became wealthy subsequently are steeped in the propaganda that's accumulated over the years that this hasn't collapsed. But the collapse is coming, eventually.
