The fragmented fake public square, is an obstacle to really getting anything big enough done.
Maybe the maximal size of a human society that can act together is just not able to be that big. (I don’t really buy this)
The social media problem and the inability to seriously face climate change problems are linked by common cause. Are we going to hope someone powerful will just fix it for us? That’s the current ‘plan.’
Are we really this terrified of what a real public square might produce?
