Technology is going to revolutionize almost every sector, leading to the demise of many traditional professions. Economic and political power will be determined less by a country's size than by its technological superiority.

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.

It's not possible for two countries to be the leading dominant political power at the same time.

The greatest power is not money power, but political power.

Of course, technology is not an exogenous force over which humans have no control. We are not constrained by a binary choice between acceptance and rejection. Rather, the decisions we make every day as citizens, consumers, and investors guide technological progress.
