If there is one more cycle, it'll be the last one of the elite/cabal. Kicking and screaming till their last dying breath and they become insignificant forever more.
The spread of information is already uncontrollable and will continue to be so. It will be become harder and harder to control the population as time moves on and technology advances. Internet, blockchain technology, and advances in governance and systems design will make it extremely difficult for a few entities to control everyone.
Advances in machine learning were the only thing they had going for themin this current system. However, if changes are made to the entire system and the general populations way of thinking to a system that benefits everyone and everyone has equal opportunities to grow wealthier from, there won't be going back for the forseeable future. Machine Learning/AI in this system will be used to benefit the ones in power, which will be a larger share of the public population and a tool for humanity's freedom rather than enslavement.
The cat and mouse game of control and let go just gets bigger and bigger and makes it harder and harder for entities to gather and come to agreement. Only war, the deaths of billions, and a population amnesia of 100s of years of history and everything easily found on the internet could bring back their power. If they cut out internet, they'd have to cut it off worldwide simultaneously because any country that had it running would become instantly more powerful and more desirable to live in overnight. They are powerful but they've been losing the overall share of power to a decentralized population for the last few hundred years. Their stock is about to drop hard.
