Let me give an example.
As flawed as the fedi is, it provides a starting point for a digital infrastructure that can permanently break the reliance on centralized platforms.
Communal data sovereignty isn’t a pipe dream. It’s close to becoming a reality if we can work out the kinks and make it accessible.
The challenge isn’t the tech because it’s there. The challenge is getting people to believe we don’t need centralized platforms because we can do better without them.
Extrapolate that concept to education, healthcare, housing, etc and we have the beginnings of a completely new way to think about the world and how we exist in it.
We already have the skills. We always have.
The question is do we actually believe we can change our circumstances.
I believe we can. We just gotta try.
