Unfortunately, this is probably what lies ahead for civilization very long term (500+ years or more).

As people "pop" like popcorn all over the world (becoming worth vast sums of money), they are going to become rapidly disincentivized from living in high tax jurisdictions.

They will ask why they pay so much in taxes when they could join a commune with other ultra high net worth individuals and buy better services than they would ever receive in a big city.

Once you can get to anywhere on the globe in under 3 hours for a reasonable sum of money, this will likely become the norm.

The wealthy will just take their stuff and go somewhere else.
