My take, of course, is that so much of this is made all the more difficult because of the dynamic that Capitalism brings to the table. The dynamic that electrification of experience retrieval has made mutated because information and money are synonymous now. The very thing that an informed electorate has to have to function at all.
In the end it will be up to all of you out there, in the infosphere, or elsewhere, making your everyday decisions as you usually do. And you do that with the natural human tendency towards thinking it will all work itself out eventually. And you will indeed be correct in that assumption in it's largest sense, but somewhat less so as to the particulars of how "it will all work itself out," actually plays out. Which quite likely will be a system reboot of titanic proportions. The kind of reboot where everything once growing here starts over.
Everyone has to stop doing what they were doing, and now consider what they are prepared to do to save ourselves, as well as the planet. Because it will require everyone to reconfigure just what work ought to be now, now that we can control electrons, and photons, and maybe even gravitons as well, all too soon. Without any more wisdom than we've had to truly wield atomic power. Or the power of coherent light. Or the power of our very genetics.
Just so you know what is at stake here.
