69/ They didn't have the good luck to be born HERE, to be part of THIS wonderful little culture? That's what I imagine we're going to see 50-150 years from now. Lots of little tribes / phyles / polities, each with their own norms, traditions, and values.

70/ Will there be dissidents? Of course! And in a sane world, dissidents will do what they've always done - find their own kind. The current Westphalian system is a legacy of expensive travel, non existent communication, poor sorting.

Thank you for this thread,when I was younger I used to believe that this world is a lost cause.Growing up,except from finding beauty in this world and in what it could become,i also found the love of my life.We had discussed before about leaving the big city center we live in.
