@smallcircles@avandeursen@jesper I believe there's a duality to fragmentation (local, small) and unification (global, large), and it needs to be understood and respected. Both have their value: too big scale disallows nuance, closeness and intimacy; too small scale leads to disintegration and too low flow of ideas.
I think we went too quickly from small (local newspapers) to too big (twitter?). The scale is in favour of global news, which does favor global peace, but it can be too much.
