@dleetr I wish I could answer that question. I could say that that if you can get benevolent serfdom it beats market competition and self responsibility. Serfdom means you are supplied with means of survival but not means of satisfaction. Therefore all your effort at productivity goes into self satisfaction. This is the rational choice for the vast masses of humanity, This demand decreases with increase in economic opportunity (returns on technological development) and increases with decrease in economic opportunity (exhaustion of returns on technological developments). However, there is a point where you have effectively maximized consumption to the piont where you’re ‘fat, fucked, dumb, stoned, and happy’ and so there is a point in technological development where there is no non-abstract means of increasing one’s satisfaction. As such serfdom should eventually become a majority preference because of exhaustion of opportunity for novel consumption, just as it eventually became a majority preference betwause of exhaustion of opportunity for returns on individual market participation. And worse, the invention of robots and AI’s will accelerate this tipping point. In fact, the great ‘resignation’ is evidence that this is happening already. We have exhausted the problem of maximizing the consumption of our time with entertainment. And computers etc made that cheap. Via video, we can even socialize without showering, or even putting pants on.

So in that world it becomes increasingly necessary to return to the inequality of serfs, freemen, citizens, and sovereigns, so that those of us who never tire of responsibility and productivity (freemen, citizens, sovereigns) are free to do so without being deprived of the rights of freemen, citizens, and soverigns that we desire in order to practice responsibility and productivity.

And that is the world we live in.
