Frederico,
This is an extensive and well researched study of our present situation and of the direction it is going, but you do not develop how your central thesis, that of decentralized networks, is to prevail over the current tendency toward massive polarities. Often even efforts to combat these global control systems only feed, or otherwise enable them. You make a very cogent point by saying we should not fight inertial tendencies, as many seem intent on doing, but identifying the root assumptions and seeking to correct them. In that regard, I take aim at several in my own entry, God and money.
The problem with monotheism is the absolute is basis, not apex, so a spiritual absolute would then be the essence of awareness from which we rise, not an ideal form of it from which we fell. It just so happens to be politically convenient for those running things to declare the source as an authority figure, to which they are the representative, by default.
As for money, it is a contract which we treat as a commodity. It is an agreement between a community and its members, whose value is therefore ultimately dependent on the health of that community, yet when we think of it primarily as an item to be acquired, with little regard for any broader ramifications, the interpersonal relations and other resources become sacrificed in order to create and accumulate ever more of these notes, which is entirely counterproductive. Now if we primarily understood it as a contract with the members of the community, the viability of the system and its members would be essential, so any member in good standing would be accommodated in times of personal distress, as best possible, while anyone caught abusing the system might well find their collection of communal obligations being negated.
These points might seem far-fetched in the current situation, but we seem headed for a societal and economic crisis, even before an environmental one, so there will likely be a need for new social approaches, even before we reach the end of our environmental rope.
