Everything over the past 60 years pointed towards consolidation and uni-party politics. Which means that thinking, habits, and beliefs of you, and me, have been "mandated" by governments, corporations, banking, media, religious groups, etc. Individualism has been cancelled. Merit-based promotion has been cancelled. And incompetence has been rewarded.
However... The signs are clear today that fragmentation is beginning. It took hold with the Ukraine War. Those who support Ukraine have been shocked to find that they are losing. They are losing the sanctions war. They are losing the military conflict. They are losing support around the world. All this means that the unitary party that has ruled the world, since the early 1970s, is fragmenting.
Fragmentation is a gateway to a new era of creative cooperation between individuals, communities, and socioeconomic entities. And this movement will be boosted by AI. The AI revolution will automate much of the process that leads to collectives and to pervasive disinformation. But... when the world consists of smaller, and smaller, entities trust in each other can return and a spirit of open cooperation can survive and thrive.
If "fragmentation" is to work well then there must be a-clear-and-present focus on individual needs. When we meet individual needs those who merit success achieve it. Those who do not merit success fall by the wayside. This means that fragmentation benefits "ordinary folks" who get on with life in purposeful ways.
Fragmentation meant that the lies, and false narratives, of the past 60 years can be assigned to local dumpsters.
