Hey Alex, read this again more slowly. I’m overwhelmingly positive on this and scratching my head a bit on where we disagree.
On the general and specific shapes of the problem you and I are pretty much wholly aligned. You can find old posts on my substack where I’ve been yammering on forever. I say that only as social proof of my sincerity and genuine care for the problem.
We live in a sea of attention epilepsy and unless you are willing to generate super loud l, and to most people, antisocial signals like political extremism you have trouble forming any kind of effective group. Antisocial behavior being a positive signal to other antisocial people.
My question for you, and the bit I started with in my own thinking, after you form groups how do you stitch them back together where they remain distinct but also can cooperate at that level to make some kind of meta group consensus?
Happy Birthday! Our gym chats have been insightful and much appreciated 😊

Is this step one of a longer plan?
Will respond to your comment of my work on X.
Excellent.
Great piece!
