I'm all for a borderless future, but I see it as unlikely. What I think will happen will be extreme concentration of wealth in a few places, and those will put up sky-high walls (literal and figurative) to block out everyone else.

And yeah, life is a lottery, from where we are born, to where we can go and which biological body we got.

That accurately describes the USA today (and has for many decades), and especially some of the wealthier parts like the SF Bay area.

USA has a long way to go yet. Think attack dogs, minefields and being shot in the back from watchtower for trying to illegally cross the border Berlin wall-style.

Not just assets. Even preferences are a lottery -- whether you like to work, whether you're attracted to the kind of person your country's politics approves of, all of it.
