By large armies of trained soldiers who invariably suffered disproportionate casualties. Fortifications are very effective for this specific application.
The billionaire with a doomsday bunker probably has enough rations to outlast you. It's best not to wait until the doomsday bunker stage to do something about the situation.
That's true. However, the smarter(esque) billionaires built their doomsday prepper bunkers in NZ, AU, Hawaii, and probably elsewhere secret and far away from most civilization they want to avoid.

Which letter? From my (probably mistaken) perspective
S usually requires a PhD to get into the field and if you get that far, it’s a battle for a handful of poorly paid positions waiting for you
T doesn’t need too much explanation here. Not great right now
E alright, but seems to be pretty sparse. A lot of actual engineering positions seem to have been outsourced long ago. Might also be hard to compete with just an undergrad.
M probably the most valuable right now IMO. Wide range of jobs you could have available, often decent if not high paying, but outside of those (if you can get them) you might as well be a philosopher.
The STEM push seemed to be a grift through and through.
> That's probably why "old money" doesn't like "new money". New money is crass, loud, and obnoxious. Old money knows that it's best to keep to the shadows, at least until one of their idiot kids ruins it.
I suspect that’s why I’ve seen more serious monarchists than I ever have before.
Little do most people realize that they’ve already taken that; as they spend more of their life with literal strangers working for and to advance not just others, but even what may as well be gods in far off places and in sky scraper mount olympuses, living decadent lives off the work and ruin of others, who trade their time in life and the life and experiences of their children, to be raised by regime goons instead of their own parents or at least their mother who is also serving another man/person.
That means if there are 10 developer - 7 working on the product and 3 working on the fundamental AI problem, those 7 aren’t going to be left (the company didn’t want the product anyway) and the 3 researchers are going to be hired.
Something similar happened with Google and Windsurf. So who benefited from the anti acquisition mood of the previous FTC? Not most of the employees who could have made more just working for a public company in the first place and not even the investors.
Google accomplished the same thing with less red tape and didn’t have to hire the people they didn’t want.
Their purpose is solely to protect the land/the lord from people with ideas such as yours following the collapse of the empire.
