A big mistake institutionalist romantics make is thinking tech *caused* the ongoing collapse of institutions. No. The evidence is clear. They've been collapsing steadily since 1974. Tech merely created channels for the anger to flow. The dam burst elsewhere.

But didn't tech cause 1974? TCP/IP. Ethernet. Cellphone and touchscreen patents. C. All in 1973. 😁

Different era of tech. Also included containerization, plastics/disposability...🙂

Big mistake to think institutions have collapsed. No evidence for that. Institutions merely morphed.

There’s collapse fractures going down through all layers of institutions going back to the Neolithic.
