I view that the core issue is that democracy and many modern institutions as they exist today are hopelessly ill-equipped to deal with the reality where billions of people are connected. We live in a world of interconnected differences. Existing social and cultural norms basically compel us to synchronize everyone in the network to the same instance of truth, and this simply doesn't work anymore.
We are already seeing huge increases in support for things like systems thinking, ecological worldview, decentralization, holism, etc. The future is pluralistic and that's okay.
