"Whether it’s to work for climate sanity and world peace, or to build institutions that create a greater degree of community, democracy and cooperative endeavor."
Along those lines, I wish you'd write more about the ecovillage movement. A vision of social change could be:
The creation of networks of ecovillage communities (and ecovillage-like neighborhoods in cities) as the basis for the ultimate bioregional reorganization of society.
" . . . we need a more horizontal world where those are more evenly distributed".
What we need, Patrick and what we get are vastly divergent. The way it goes.
One can hypothesize all the grass roots movements one likes. They do not count.
This era, this century is a split between the failing West and The Great Eurasian Union.
Expressed further under the Decline of The West, vectored via that failed, longest of the long LongShots, this engineered US-NATO-UK Ukrainian Proxy War over the lives of the poor Ukrainian people to weaken Russia, tip out its government and possess its considerable resources.
Judgment shall be by outcomes. Thus far, it is the EU and NATO that will disintegrate. Paradoxically, the present winners are simultaneously the United States and Russia. Those in the way of superpower aspirations invariably are ground up in the geo-political machinery.
Discussed here in lengthy, abstruse and eclectic prose across several essays that will leave the reader visibly aged, yet possibly far wiser although admittedly that is entirely speculative . . . https://les7eb.substack.com
Honestly, you have presented me with a series on lengthy essays that may have merit, but together appear to be equivalent to a short book. I would be happy to absorb your thoughts if you would post a 2000-3000 word summary. I have been concentrated on the current geopolitical landscape as well. And, perhaps ironically from your perspective, I see the emergence of diverse poles os power as moving toward a more horizontal world. Within nations there is a dialectic of centralizing and decentralizing tendencies. In the US I see strong centrifugal tendencies that make the country less governable from the center, and so promote a more horizontal order. You can scroll back in my site and find more about this. And I will be approaching this more this year.

Good suggestion. On the list.
