According to the Georgia Guide Pile-of-Rocks, the earth should only host 500 million people. That means 7.5 billion must die. That means 15 out of 16 must die all at once in some catastrophic event. (or slowly over the next few decades?) If monetary value was the only determining factor, how much money would you need to be in the top 5%? Based on net worth and income, to make the cut you'd have to be worth at least.... a million? wait... 10 million? I can't figure this out, but it's a number that can be calculated based on available figures. I'm just not savvy enough to figure out what the top 5% of net worth is. I'm pretty sure there aren't 500 million billionaires alive today.

They’re actively planning for the singularity, and a big part of the plan is to have humanity willingly de-industrialize itself in the name of a more “traditional” lifestyle. Things will be so chaotic by that point that most people will opt for a more self-sustaining situation. They ones at the top of the pyramid will hoard singularity level technology for themselves while we live in a slightly more advanced agricultural age i.e. neo-agrarian.
