Yeah, I'm under no illusion that the new version of the institutions will be genuinely better, but they will address the problems that are nipping at our heels right now.
I think you're 100% right.
Marshall McLuhan has done cool work looking at media.
And one of his famous lines was, the medium is the message.
And so what that essentially is saying is that the type of multimedia you consume, is it television from the three channels that all pretty much say the same thing?
Is it a unique algorithm to every individual where we live in our own little reality bubbles?
Those create very different reality in the world.
Doesn't matter what the content is, but the form that that content takes would be like broadcast versus individual niche.
Those create different outcomes.
And you're 100% right.
As humans, one of our superpowers, the reason why we took over the world and not some other group is because of this ability to believe in a shared fiction that's larger than our kin group.
We talked about evolutionary biology.
99% of our life is kin group.
So you pretty much know everyone.
Everyone's loosely related.
You don't need to have some America fiction to believe in or Christianity.
You don't need those things because you have a biological reason.
As soon as you grow larger than that, you do need a shared fiction.
It could be same tribe, same culture, same language, same colors.
We live on this side of the river, not that side of the river.
