They are smart walking into that. They want exactly that. It's you for whom it's a dystopia.
Honestly I no longer hope for propagation of such abilities to create feedbacks negating them.
Seems to be too much power on the side of centralizing them and using them to build perfect totalitarianism with no laws, because administrative rule doesn't require laws, just decisions. Laws are required in systems with some power balance depending on common agreement.
At the same time there's the much slower feedback loop of societies built that way degrading in the span of decades and societies preserving some competitiveness of will progressing. Except this will work as very slow evolutionary selection between shades of the former, because the latter won't survive the initial stage.
