Lol? Another great sacrifice?
This isn't a healthy or sensible way to think.
How about total surveillance total thought control total power in a hands of few trillionaires in the near future. Drones killing undesirables with cheering crowds watching.

And even that is one of the “good” outcomes assuming no ASI.
