The American experiment did balance competing interests, at first, within a shared landmass, ecology, and set of material constraints. But it also relies on, extracting resources from elsewhere(including people) and over time, scaled beyond its bioregional limits Now imagine that model scaled to the entire planet. A global government, even with good intentions, risks becoming a monoculture of governance... detached from the watersheds, cultures, and ecologies it’s supposed to serve. It’s not about fearing the Antichrist. It’s about knowing that the land teaches differently in every place, and centralization silences that plurality. Global coordination? Necessary. Global governance? That's empire, just rebranded. Bioregionalism is the future. Let's not go backwards.

That might be all true right now, but it’s also true tech is making global coordination more important at an exponential rate. True techno optimist elites should be investing their $ and political influence into improving that coordination.

Tech is not making global coordination more important, it's just making it easier. Techno elites should not be influencing our day to day lives using political power. You ser seem to want to move into more techno feudalism. You'll see soon enough that you're opinion is incorrect and misinformed.

I’m not saying elites should run things top down. In a perfect world, the super rich wouldn’t be able to pull the strings. But that’s yet another global coordination problem (wealth inequality, corruption). My point is if the super rich techno optimists are genuine about wanting to improve the world, they should focus on improving *democracy*. Instead, they’re doing the opposite.

Totally hear you, and yeah, improving democracy is key. But I think how and where democracy happens matters just as much. We can’t fix global issues by just scaling democracy upward. That risks replicating the same systems that concentrate power and silence local voices. The further decisions get from the land and the people living on it, the easier it is for them to be co-opted by wealth, tech, or bureaucracy. If techno-optimists really cared about a better world, they’d help build democracy rooted in place, bioregional, resilient, locally accountable. Not just “more voting,” but power that stays close to the people and ecosystems it affects.
