The Disconnect Between Power Elites and Regular People

In this chapter, the speakers discuss the disconnect between billionaires and regular people, drawing a parallel with celebrities who have lost touch with the experiences of the average person. They argue that it is rare for the elite to maintain empathy and understanding, as it becomes an obstacle to their strategies. They also raise concerns about the lack of awareness among the elite about the systems and complexity they rely on, which could lead to unintended consequences and potentially even their own inability to survive in the world they create.
