    Our tech bros are hoping for some form of apocalypse that reduces the world population by 80%. Hence their rush towards accelerating climate collapse, pushing the world towards nuclear war and encouraging the development of AI and novel diseases. When they emerge from their underground sanctuaries or remote tropical islands, they will be in a position to rule over the remnants of humanity. The serfs will have no choice but to serve their new overlords by eking out a living serving their needs
