Took me a minute to find it. But I previously mentioned this re: Sapiens:
https://www.currentaffairs.org/2022/07/the-dangerous-populist-science-of-yuval-noah-harari
I'd love to eavesdrop on a conversation between people who've read Harari's
work. But I doubt I'll read it.

I think you intended to send this to the list?

IDK, man. I feel like this is the same homogenizing force as Spotify, or influencers on Instagram, driving us

predicate, local in space mostly, but perhaps local in ethos (like B corps or co-ops), or domain (not the
useless "tech" or "life sciences" but something more refined).
Does your play with etoro suggest that's possible there?
I do envy your succinctness... if I read this first I could probably have
avoided the long-circuitious virtue-maunder in my last post.
Anyone else read(ing) Harari's _Sapiens_? His description of how Homo Sapiens has gone
from millions of Dunbar-sized tribes to one giant global "community" was
fascinating... The roughly 5 or 6 universes of 500 years ago even (Eurasia, Subsaharan
Africa, Australia, Pacifica, MesoAmerica) which collapsed with the European
Explo(it)ration eruption.
The inevitable pulse of differentiation/re-integration seems to be (one of
the?) pump(s) of complex adaptive systems (evolution in all domains)?
