Not bad, but you missed the main parameter of today's marketing world when analyzing the dominant strategy: it's all 12yo boy porn that is targeting neotonized man-boys with more credit cards than sense (does anyone actually have a net worth these days-sigh). Escapism for a pampered privileged demographic of collectibles and energy drinks. I love good sci-fi , but good sci-fi has been buried in the crass commercialism that was enabled by a rich extractive ecconomy. The internet is the present world's holodeck. It's mostly crime and porn. See "sports".

Bullying sells. Sex sells. Spectacle sells. It's all in the marketing and it's ALL marketing. If we follow the 'free' market philosophy, the Future is Biff's Place; in Pottersville, and Himmler is in charge of security. We've met aliens, but it was the Ferengi, and they don't talk to the government; they work on Madison Avenue.
