I'm no anarchist, quite strongly institutionalist in fact, but I do seem to have flipped the bozobit on government institutions. The opposite is not necessarily "private" or "non-profit". We need a more globalist, post-Westphalian re-imagining of "public".

The public is cycling at an unprecedented Khz. We need a software update in our organizational mainframe. Democracy has been stuxnetted. The conserve faction wants to re install the old operating system.

We need less inventions of novel bs solutions & more organizations of engagement — systems that can mobilize and engage human beings precisely when we are at our most motivated. This is WW III and everyone knows it. If nation states don’t do it, independent orgs will step in.
