  1. Traditionally, might made right, and military might was the currency of population control; but this is only efficient when the people are unarmed and weak from poverty. As the people began more and more to prosper, they became stronger, and by their cleverness and diligence could weaponize their strength. Military technology had not developed to the point of being able to efficiently control a more resourceful people by threat of force. So the controllers shifted means: impose "democracy" as a means to get people to control themselves. It's a lot more efficient to manipulate a few people than a great mass of people. How much could it really cost to buy a hundred senators? How many senators could turn down, say, a billion dollars (and a promise not to kill everyone they care about)? What entities exist that are capable of directing a 100 billion dollar dispersal? That's where we are. The next major flip-back will see the likes of physical nanobots, smaller than most bacteria, being "consumed" by people, after which, the nanobots are capable of self-assembly into more complex machines. Oh, and the nanobots are under the direct control of those who deployed them. At that point, all people on the planet could be immediately killed at the press of a switch. How lovely...look up "smart dust". Can anything short of catastrophe turn back this technological rampage?!
