> use a feudal model because it is more accurate

This is _entirely_ too accurate. The land grabs of today are mostly for eyeballs on ads (even though the old fashioned pointy-end-of-sword land grabbing seems to be back in fashion). Our "lords" are forced into survival mode, and mobilize their peasant militias on social media to spread their gospel. Maybe I'm stretching the metaphor too thin, but to me, it seems like we're at the crossroads between the imminent end of serfdom and the french revolution. The people are hungry and pretty pissed.

> I’m very pessimistic about the next 50 years so I’m very biased.

You're not alone. That's called awareness, and comes with experience. I hope things will get better, but the fruits of technology are not evenly distributed.
