1% is pretty good honestly. Just find yourself better off than 99% of ppl. Do you realize how bad 99% of ppl are?

It'll never be better than 1% again. Get it while it's good. Your odds will never, ever be better, except possibly briefly if there's a wealth redistribution event soon.

In the future it'll be literally 1 to 20 world trusts and a whole lot of tenants. Our (unowned, occupancy) share of the machinery will depend only on the size of the machinery, population size, and what share of the total economy is funneled through entitlements the state gives us for the machine to suck back out. Precedent is set very low on this as we pump our economy by handing the cash directly to the owners -- gas directly into the cylinders, except just refilling the god-damn gas tank to keep the entire machine (us) involved. This is very bad as we are training the giant robot to understand that the mass of humans is not particularly important to the economy.

But assuming we aren't all wiped out in some convenient disaster, poverty won't exist in the same sense, with the new human jungle being a very safe climate-controlled series of corridors with McDonalds growing on electric trees and you'll just have to watch a LOT of ads, and "success" at the low end of the 99.98th percentile of wealth will be basically popular whores with a lot of simps. The .02% holding 99% of the wealth at that point will probably be not that much larger in terms of raw count as the current 1% class, although human population will be maybe 10x or 20x today or an order of magnitude bigger than that if energy tech improves a lot, encouraged to breed to generate more UBI entitlement cashflow to be vacuumed out of the economy, not to mention to continue interacting to feed the big computer more and more data from which to produce hypnotic signals.

The inheriting .02% owners of the big metal Earth will be locked in trusts that prevent them from divesting or fucking up their fortunes, for stability's sake, and they'll be more or less locked in posh padded rooms with their choice of peasants to buttfuck while plans charted by a computer and an ancestor play out for generations. Tho prisoners in some sense, they'll get big awesome unheard-of privileges like the ability to see the sun, the ability to manually drive a car or drone instead of autopilot, access to a general computer with linux instead of apple iOS without needing the normal monthly Employment Purpose License and recording software, self-defense weapons with up to five repeating shots, and such. Sooo much power.

Since humans will have no part in production or industry or design, and mass media will be choked and stroked by the mega-owners, the individual's desirability be it socially, sexually, podcast rapport will be the only thing left other than "art", which probably also will be largely usurped by machines incognito with hu-mon identities if we're talking about the writing, visual art, filmmaking spheres. Go watch a cape movie with the constant match-cuts -- they are already written, storyboarded and edited by a machine. Human warmth will be the last and most valuable product we can generate... i hope, or else there will be no need for us

Grab some capital now if you aren't content to spectate. Seducing inheritors will be the very last means of social mobility once humanity reaches its mature state of stratification, which will be extreme. 1% is soooo achievable compared to where we're headed, you sound like little baby. One day you gonna wake up inside a completely immutable iron cylinder saying what in the heck happened.
