It's not that people want what you think they want, you are making a judgment based on a technology that is being circumvented.
Whether or not a Knowledge Age could alter the incentives people had as serfs is irrelevant to the chasm in front of us on this reset, which Bitcoin does not have the immutable attributes to cross.
We get there with the collective wisdom of the crowd, not by a central authority, Bitcoin is just the last key to completing the internet.
You are going to reeducate all the 60+ age Boomers (who dominate the political demographics in the West) how to become Knowledge Age workers and abandon their bankrupt retirement plans, all within the next 3 years which is the ETA for the cliff dive into the chasm?
Of course not.
The individual incentives of the People who are voting can not align with your vision of global optimization within the timeframe of the rapidly approaching event horizon of economic collapse and totalitarianism.
Edit: Oxford U. in 2012 predicted 47% of existing jobs would be displaced by automation within 20 years. Thus a majority of the working age population are not ready for the transition to a meritocratic Knowledge Age. Bitcoin can't accelerate this process of adjustment, thus the approaching chasm is unavoidable.
