“
There are some societies today completely untroubled by moguls, like,
say, Sweden. You look at all the statistics that technocrats use to
determine where people are doing just great, where society is thriving,
and Sweden’s been in the top five percentile for decades. Sweden does
everything perfectly from a technocratic policy perspective, Sweden’s
like Oz, apparently.
And then you ask Swedes about their future and so forth, and they’re
like: “Bring the razor and the bathtub! When can I die?” There are
penniless, vitamin-deprived guys in the Dharavi slums of Mumbai who are
upbeat and perky compared to Swedes.
