Authoritarian warlords.
If aliens 'just visited' ... not so sure ... but
controlling the socioeconomic confusion, well, it
would still trend towards, and provide the EXCUSE
for, authoritarianism.
IMHO authoritarianism is kind of the 'default' social
system - the Big Kahuna with a big club and big buds
with clubs. Anything 'better' takes a lot of constant
WORK and seems subject to a form of entropy that can
quickly drag us back to the default.
Like many species, humans organize as 'social hierarchical',
some double-alpha in charge and everyone below gets pecked
on. Machiavelli revealed that the double-alpha(s) who are
smart rarely reveal themselves as such - use proxies.
That both keeps them safer and gives them more room to
exercise power behind the scenes. See, IQ is useful
after all - makes us better tyrants ! :-)
