Social scaling is generally understood in terms of the number of people in a coordination regime, so a way to get 1200 people working together is more advanced than a way to get 12 people working together, other things being equal.

To run with the Moore’s law analogy, to work together effectively at internet scale, Zoomers will need coordination density so intimate, it will look like quantum tunneling and entanglement effects to us. They are Borg. Resistance is futile if you’re young enough.

Ideology doesn’t matter. All ideologies are on the same densification curve. Alt-right dank meme Borg is the same as Woke-cancel-mob Borg. If you’re too old to be assimilated, you’ll be ok-boomered out of the process.

Point is: there seems to be growing wishful thinking that this is a volition always, ideologically driven process and that at some point “woke will go too far” or “alt-right incels will go too far” and lead to a correction towards “sanity” defined as “historical density”.

Nope. The ideology is a consequence of densification, which itself is driven by economics and tech. Not a cause. It’s like thinking “Moore’s law will go too far and there will be a correction back to vacuum tubes”. Doesn’t work that way. Quantum Zoomer Social Foam is coming.

Thoughts inspired by observation that Woke Derangement Syndrome now exceeds Trump Derangement Syndrome in intensity and incidence. Trumpism is an instance of a cyclic reaction phenomenon. Woke is a stage in a secular historical trend. Cycles self-correct. Secular trends evolve.

Correct questions to ask are different in each case. Cycles: when does it peak, reverse, and go into overcorrection Secular trend: what does this morph into at next scale of evolution

If Trumpism bothers you resist it. If Woke bothers you, punch through to the other side. My suspicion on latter is temporalization of identity. People who wear an identity for a while like clothing evolving past those who want you to find and inhabit a “true” one for life.

Millennials are boomers before they became disenchanted by life, and therefore share the same destiny.
