I am currently writing a manifesto that is more or less a compact and consistent ideological framework about my thoughts of the past 5 years. It resonates with several of your closing remarks.

Not surprisingly stability is the most important issue : people can travel across the world in hours, internet communications are global and instantaneous... Nothing is stable anymore. What was the default, the inertia of meat space, is no longer.

IMO it is at least as important as the switch from oral to written culture. It will be faster and more intense. How to prepare ? I don't really know if it is possible. To keep opened eyes, the ones that use lights and not pre-conceived frameworks, already puts you on the top 0.01%.

Intriguing manifesto, can't wait to read it.

Global liquidity brings more stabilization though, just like a tree monoculture, just bigger fat risk tail.

Switch to written culture as in the Protestant reading skills in the 1600s and later?

Re: open eyes - not enough, as I remarked it's about personal access to key stakeholders
