Right now capitalism has essentially homogenized humanity in a way unseen in any other epoch. Collective solutions will be different from place to place, just as customs varied widely before.

Except they actually had a lot in common, and there was a lot less diversity within each of them. In any case, you're making an argument for patchwork.

It's as though you're pointing to an ecosystem and claiming that it's homogenized because there are all sorts of interconnected relationships.

Your solution is to have a number of tiny, simple ecosystems (or just individual species) that are (somehow) completely isolated from each other.

I'm claiming its homogenized because the similarity in governing and economic structures has become much more similair than in the past. Japanese and British corporations are far more similair than japanese and British feudalism ever was

I'm not advocating for any form of isolation at all, rather I'm advocating a collective solution and socialism because that is the only way to preserve the globalization we've achieved while diversifying economic and political systems. Patchworks are a utopian pipedream.

So we're going to centrally plan our way to diversification? And capitalism is too homogeneous? Patchwork is a pipedream, but universal socialist planning is totally realistic, and indeed is going to deliver us all from the capitalist apocalypse. Genius.

Has it occurred to you that perhaps the reason for the widespread success of capitalism, your claims to the contrary notwithstanding, is precisely it's generalizability?

It goes beyond generalizability, frankly. A system in which stuff that works automatically accumulates resources while stuff that fails bleeds them is going to be backed by something close to cosmic law.

Okay in very abstract principle, but no actual government could be trusted with this kind of task (which would quickly revert to rent seeking).

r&d could be subjected to the market, even if immediately unprofitable. it's just that accumulation needs to be more advanced first.

first your sort out how to produce food efficiently with current tools, then you use the surplus to research better tools.
