    What if politics as we know it is about to end?

    What if humanity soon organizes itself not in hierarchies, but in hive minds?

    Should we fear the robot apocalypse?

    Welcome to The Social Singularity.

    In this decentralization manifesto, futurist Max Borders shows that humanity is already building systems that will “underthrow” great centers of power.

    Exploring the promise of a decentralized world, Borders says we will:

    - Reorganize to collaborate and compete with AI;

    - Operate within networks of superior collective intelligence;

    - Rediscover our humanity and embrace values for an age of connection.

    With lively prose, Borders takes us on a tour of modern pagan festivals, cities of the future, and radically new ways to organize society. In so doing, he examines trends likely to revolutionize the ways we live and work.

    Although the technological singularity fast approaches, Borders argues, a parallel process of human reorganization will allow us to reap enormous benefits. The paradox? Our billion little acts of subversion will help us lead richer, healthier lives—and avoid the robot apocalypse.

    Preventing the Final Fall of Our Democratic Republic

    Preventing the Final Fall of Our Democratic Republic

    Pathfinding our Destiny: Preventing the Final Fall of Our Democratic Republic By Charles Hugh Smith
    Hear it Here - https://adbl.co/3Ob427H

    www.audible.com/pd/B07M689SMP/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWU-BK-ACX0-138545&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_138545_pd_us

    America teeters on the precipice: our government is now captive to special interests and big money, twin cancers that threaten our democracy. This accelerating crisis is exacerbated by a toxic social media-fueled tribalism that has replaced “what do you think?” with “which side are you on?” Our crisis isn’t just political—it’s structural: as the pace of change explodes from gradual to non-linear, the organizations that dominate our economy—centralized corporations and government—become destined to fail. We see this failure in both the soaring inequality that has hollowed out the American Dream as well as in the rising tide of social and political disunity.To prevent the fall of our democratic republic, we must transform our economy and society from the ground up. As we enter a new era of rapid, unprecedented tumult, it is we citizens who will need to save our democracy. For our political and financial elites will cling to their centralized power, doing more of what’s failed, even as civil society unravels. All is not lost—yet. Our way forward starts with understanding the fatal flaws of our brittle, self-serving status quo and embracing this basic truth: better options are available if we’re willing to explore.To pathfind our way to a better destiny, we must create new localized structures optimized for resilience and adaptability—a flexible, decentralized, sustainable, democratic, opportunity-for-all nation.
