I think I see somewhat where you are coming from, but can you spell it out for me a bit more? Maybe through describing a somewhat fleshed out concrete example scenario all the while I can acknowledge that this is just one hastily put together possibility of many.
Let me start by proposing one such possibility but feel free to start going in another direction entirely too. Let’s suppose the altruistic few put together sanctuaries or “wild human life reserves”, how might this play out after this? Will the selfish ones somehow try to intrude or curtail this practice? By our scenarios granted premises, the altruistic ones do wield real power, and they do use some fraction of it to maintain this sanctum. Even if the others are many, would they have a lot to gain by trying to mess with this? Is it just entertainment, or sport for them? What do they stand to gain? Not really anything economic or more power, or maybe you think that they do?
Why do you think all poor people will end up in these “wildlife preserves”, and not somewhere else under the power of someone less altruistic? A future of large power differences is… a future of large power differences.
