Great work. The lack of 'stupid culture wars' within the treatise is refreshing. How many popular American outlets are addressing these kinds of issues? The media in the US are rabidly obsessed with either demonizing or 'heroizing' a kid in Wisconsin's questionable and difficult-to-place-actions, whereupon in a spectacular bit of irony there was actually a lot of nuanced and thoughtful insight about the subject on TikTok of all places. Pew's political topology is out [1] it's really good, but it doesn't bode well for the US as it identifies hardening, outrageous voices on the far end of 'both sides' that I suggest amounts to a serious cancer on the nation as those voices seem to consume everyone's energy on civic issues. We're not even talking about the right things and when we start to get onto the right subject, it seems as though it's radicalized for clicks & views, or trivialized so the writer/commentator can 'seem smart'. For example, for as much as I very much respect and support Elon Musk's work and achievements, most of his public commentary is glib and uninformed and he's not remotely prepared to start answering questions on these kinds of subjects (unless they are very specifically within his domain). We spend way too much time gawking over his Tweets instead of materially addressing 'manufacturing v. financialization'. And we need to consume much, much more quality news coming out of China and the rest of the world.
