Unify

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to suggest everyone should be equal. Nonetheless, I am worried to see the distribution of wealth gets increasingly skewed.

And the advance in technology plays a critical part. (Yes, in the terms of Thomas Friedman, it's because the world is getting flat.) For example, fifty years ago, you could set up a family business and sell soy milk. As long as you are honest and your sugared liquid is good enough to the taste, you may get local reputation and your company would be reasonably successful. Your market would be confined to 100 miles around where you live, which forms the base of your wealth.

But, now, your company has to compete with every carbonated beverage around the world. At the end of the day, only one or two brands would dominate all markets around the world - the bases of their wealth are way bigger, but the number of business that could come up with this magnitude of achievement is hopelessly small.

Alas, for the rest of us, we shall have to, like the other 7 billions of people, share the same kind of drink, eat the identical hamburger, and have a monopolized computer software to process our thoughts - if we still have an individual one after brainwashed by a single ultimate propaganda machine.

I mean the internet.
