I think this is a big problem for liberalism in the future. When we have 20 billion people and technology is more powerful and ubiquitous, big consequences could happen from individual bad actors remotely. Even if only the tiniest fraction of people wanted to do bad things, there would still be quite a few of them and they'll have more access as everything is more networked together.


There will never be 10 billion people alive at the same time, let alone 20.


What's the certainty there? Could you expand?
