When I was young, the idea of the abolition of national states appeared progressive and virtuous to me. Now it seems like a call for the mass murder of civilizational intellects.

This deeply resonates with a model of my mind that I have been applying since last year. My mind is a civilization, subject to the analogous dynamics and politics, prone to catastrophe in the hands of bad leadership, needs institutions to plan and allocate budgets, etc etc.

Exactly. Our understanding of minds in the context of AI and self reflection may well require modeling in terms of institutions formed by local reward oriented agents. These institutions act as specialized organs in the mental organism.

Which civilizational intellects are there? American/Western/Chinese/Russia/Arabic? Something else? At what level do you break them down? Do they contain sub-intellects (Does the Russian one exist under the European one?)? How do they relate to languages, literature, borders?

Functionally, almost every nation state is autonomous and distinctly organized. Many tried to implement similar control mechanisms (so they form families), but since it happened in a different external and internal context, the results were different.
