I know that you don't have time or interest to give
the entire history of technology, :-) but how do you
explain that some societies do have (relative)
freedom? How is it that those in power are not
in total control now, and how did we ever evolve
away from domination by an elite? And if you can
answer that, then why couldn't such forces succeed
in the future too?
