I was just spitballing but this feels like a strong thesis. Institutional undergrounds are probably correlated with pre- and post-imperial transitions to/from dark age. A kind of cultural capital flight or gathering. When surface institutions are strong, no need for them.

We’re gonna see a new institutional underground of reimagined secret societies, lodges, fraternities, sororities etc. Not like medieval ones associated with universities, religions, or nobility. A cross between those and hacker collectives, hawala networks etc.
