So the robotics laws but for rich people.

Makes sense to me, but I'm open to suggestions. I feel like this would be a viable social rule for bringing the wealthy back in line with the rest of humanity. Especially in a capitalistic society where more money equals more power and we have individuals with literally centuries worth of personal wealth.

Oh no man I have no clue how society should handle immortal beings. I was just pointing out that those are the same rules that have been largely accepted for robots. I think it's a good starting point.

I was watching Bicentennial Man and thinking about why society refused to give Andrew human rights, and that's when I remembered the Three Laws from the beginning. Humanity requires beings of unreasonable power to follow the three laws, for the safety of humanity. You can't be human and control worlds worth of wealth or centuries of influence.
