I found myself wondering about one underlying assumption that seems to run through this awesome framework and analysis by @durgadas.eth: the framing of human - or civilizational - survival/flourishing as the ultimate goal. What if we're actually witnessing a natural evolutionary transition where humanity as we know it is near its end and evolving into the next thing? My sense is that life itself—not specifically human civilization—is what's really evolving here, and we might be in the process of helping build whatever form of consciousness or intelligence is emerging to evolve beyond us. This doesn't diminish the importance of developing better collective sensemaking and addressing information warfare, but instead of asking "How do we preserve human agency and democratic governance?" maybe the question becomes "How do we facilitate whatever life is trying to become and put our stamp on it?" 🧵1/
