You might have just explained how these days, IT, rather than activism, drives lasting social change in the West. (Too bad about cryptocurrencies, but maybe it's just in a deeply eutectic potential well in the hype surface? Sorry about the not even wrong chemical physics analogy!) Historically, this dynamic (=set of tradeoffs) fails most often in turbulent times ("chaos is a ladder" trope from GoT) but I suspect that, (in addition to the opiate of tech) worldwide literacy today (not to mention ease of survival) confounds the youthful naive. i.e. most young people today have been indoctrinated about how to identify locally bad social theories (in the abstract!!), plus the smarter ones don't get their kooky theories weeded out violently enough for the unfunny ones to evolve in a meaningful way uh memetic darwinism? (But perhaps you can have a theory of how IT kills unironic memes like machine guns the aristocratic infantrymen of WWI) Watch out for unusually literate/numerate AND lawless places of formativity. I supppose.. (Ukraine, soon Taiwan, middle east in the intraorganizational (not individual) level once the Arabs/Hamas level up in organizational sophistication ) Something to think about: where are the lasting new social abstractions from kibbutzim? What the hell goes on in Adam Newman's head, has he ever published his conjoined triangles (<<Silicon Valley>>)
