No idea why you're being downvoted. Neotechnofeudalism is one of the most interesting concepts I've come across on this site and it's a very realistic vision of the future we're heading towards.

I think futarchy is more likely than neotechnofeudalism. More Star Trek, less Star Wars.

The groundwork for a neotechnofeudal future is already being laid. Futarchy seems like something only nerds will ever care about.

I don't know what "neotechnofeudalism" is, but if a bank built a single building 60 floors high with 8 condos on each floor and the condos averaged about 2 million USD each, would that then be neotechnofeudalism ?

No idea about that, but wasn't it Blackrock that is buying up half of Cleveland?

The other half is Baker Mayfield's den, still unsold after the insurance commercials.

If that construction was part of a broader concentration of capital in the top 0.1% of society that was then deploying that capital to buy up as much real estate as possible, then yes.
