I pretty much agree with everything you said. We see where this is going, it won't be long until the wheels fall off. My question is what comes next? A once in a lifetime opportunity to reshape the country is on the horizon, but only if we come together and make it happen.
Indeed Lee. What comes next is the trillion-dollar question. We need alternate models that provide lower energy and lower material footprint lifestyles and well-being for everyone in harmony with the ecosphere. I am going to be exploring some of these models once I finish this essay series.
Do you have any thoughts on what should come next/how we can enable it?
I've been thinking about that question for years, and I have come up with a lot of answers. The truth is, this is something we as a people will have to figure out together, but for conversations sake I don't mind sharing a few of my ideas!
Infrastructure: At the most basic level, people need four things to live with dignity: food, shelter, education, and energy. Right now, these systems are massive, fragile, and built for profit, not for people. When they break, they break hard. So if we’re going to rebuild, we should do it in a way that’s stronger, smarter, and more human.
We don’t need bunkers in the woods. We need local, connected communities that can take care of themselves and support each other when the big systems fail. That means growing food close to home, building homes that are affordable and energy-efficient, teaching skills that actually prepare people for the world they live in, and powering it all with local energy grids like solar and wind.
We can use tech that already exists, like mesh networks for internet and microgrids for electricity, to stay online even if the larger grid goes down. And instead of everyone struggling alone, we build shared systems where people work together: shared workshops, shared transportation, shared food production.
The goal isn’t just to survive, it’s to build a floor strong enough to stand on. A foundation that lets people grow, create, and thrive even in uncertain times. Not a net to catch them when they fall, but solid floor beneath their feet.
Narrative: People are starving for meaning. Capitalism promised freedom through consumption, but it delivered loneliness, debt, and distraction. What actually fulfills us is service, connection, and creation. We need new rites of passage, fresh national myths, and a shared definition of success that isn't tied to endless growth. It’s not just about rebuilding the economy, we have to rebuild the culture. One that rewards stewardship instead of extraction, sufficiency instead of excess, and active participation instead of passive spectatorship.
Governance: If the current system fractures, as it’s clearly starting to, we’ll need something better than patchwork reforms or recycled ideologies. We need a new framework for governance that earns its legitimacy, not demands it. At its core, that means flipping the model from centralized control to localized authority, tied together by voluntary cooperation between communities. Decisions should be made close to the ground, by the people they actually affect, not by distant bureaucrats or corporate lobbyists.
Citizenship should mean something again. Not just a legal status you inherit, but a relationship between you and the place you live. A commitment to care for your community, and a right to shape its future. The more you contribute through mentorship, labor, ideas, or leadership the more weight your voice carries. This isn’t about gatekeeping, it’s about responsibility and investment.
Decision-making should be transparent, participatory, and flexible. Traditional elections and party politics have devolved into popularity contests and power hoarding. We can do better. Models like sortition (randomly selected citizen councils), deliberative assemblies, or even AI-assisted consensus tools could help us break out of the gridlock and make smarter, more inclusive choices. Not every decision needs a campaign. Some just need wisdom and accountability.
And yes, we’re already seeing the early signs of this new civic model: worker-owned cooperatives, decentralized organizations (DAOs), community land trusts, mutual aid groups. These are prototypes, they're rough around the edges, but they’re real.
This is the defining work of our time, and it won’t wait for permission. The future will be shaped by those already sketching blueprints while the old world trembles. I’m laying foundations where I can, even if they’re made of words for now. When you’re ready to explore the next steps in your series, I’d love to continue the conversation. Let’s build something that doesn’t just replace the past but earns the future.
Wow. A goldmine of ideas right there Lee. You weren't kidding when you said you have been thinking about this for years :D I resonate with everything you shared. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the future essays.
Also, apologies for the delayed response- I was away on a systems change related retreat and have had a backlog of things to catch up on!
Agree with a lot of this, if not most. Also think that yeah building energy efficient homes is fine, ones suited for climate they are in. But I think if there's one area to compromise it's that because I think we have already hit peak emissions and moreover we can actually stop the actually bad stuff, eg pollution or waste or runoffs, but methane and carbon dioxide are basically unstoppable and moreover probably can be solved eventually with rewilding. We have to unlock abundant energy with nuclear and natural gas first to rebuild our infrastructure and housing systems. That's the foundation. And also agriculture. If we can power enough cheaply, smaller farms are more economically feasible. We need a new 40 acres act basically. That will also help build local community.
Emissions are close to peaking, but haven't yet peaked. When we hit the peak will depend on Trump's policies, AI's growing energy needs, trade wars/geopolitics (hurting renewables deployment) and more.
Not sure how much faith we can put in rewilding. There was a study long ago which showed that 1 trillion trees could offset 10 years worth of emissions. But 1 trillion trees require about 10 million square km of area ~ size of the USA. If we don't reduce emissions, we will need to keep planting more and more trees and we will simply not have enough land available for it. For reference, the planet had about 3 trillion trees 10 years ago.
That said, I agree with the need to focus on developing nuclear and making smaller farms more viable so we can do food production closer to where it can be consumed in order to reduce emissions and build community
Excellent snapshot using the data! A very good essay! If you want to engage in the debate around how to transform U.S. politics to restructure the political economy for the common good, send me a DM. Seeing the problem is a powerful step toward redesigning a better future!
If money is speech, why wouldn’t I be able to pay my bills by sending in an essay? 10 cents a word is cheap, but I’d be willing to mail in a 7500 word essay every month in lieu of a mortgage payment.
Thank you Akhil. Thank you for breaking down the reality of today's world. We need to learn (and believe) in this dire time that Sharing all resources and making them available to those less fortunate than ourselves is the only way forward. If we don't, we will all be back on equal footing starting our world from scratch. History tells us this, this time we need to heed the message to create a path forward.
Thanks Tummi. That is a part of it for sure. But the larger problem I think is one of incentives- both cultural and economic. Wealth is a marker of status and the stock market rewards short-term profits at any cost. We need a spiritual revolution as well as a systemic overhaul
I use AI as a thought partner and editor all the time. It's pretty great at those. It really helps me with questions like what's working, what needs to be tighter, what's redundant, what would benefit from more explanation, etc. It isn't always great at drawing logical connections, though, and can make some sloppy, misleading arguments.
For the actual writing itself, it mostly comes up with slop- either something too generic or too dramatic. Once in a while, it does have some gems, though (especially DeepSeek). So in terms of the final written content, maybe 5-7% of the words would be things AI suggested. But in terms of refining ideas, it has pretty much replaced Google as the research tool for me.
40+ years ago the Republican party started a campaign of lies and joined with evangelicals to begin a holy war against Democrats. They were racist, hateful, sexual predators and still claiming higher ground. We've had enough. It ends here and now.
It does seem like the Republicans have become completely unhinged. I dunno enough about the past politics to comment on how they used to be. Though I do think that the Democrats are only better by contrast- they were also not doing enough to fix all that ails us
I’ve been arguing that the social contract has been broken for decades. Ever since I first learned about it in detail in high school history classes covering John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. I sat there in class thinking “this is a great way to explain why we keep setting up governments.” Then I thought some more about the situation the country was in, had been in, and realized “well our government hasn’t lived up to their end of the contract.” I was in that class in 2004 or 2005. We’d just gone through the attacks of September 11th, 2001 and the crushing economic collapses that followed (though none as bad as what was to come just after I graduated high school in 2007). I had watched my parents, more worried than I’d ever seen them, quietly fretting over their retirement plans and savings bonds and other financial safety nets they had bought into so carefully and methodically. I knew almost everything was gone. I’d watched my parents, both hard-working, earnest Americans struggle to pay the mortgage, insurance premiums, put food on the table, and give my brother and I a stable, safe, and secure childhood. I’d read the newspapers and watched the news on TV, a bunch of talking heads analyzing every word every politician said and constantly pushing pro-American rah-rah War on Terror bullshit. I’d watched my country fracture into those who wanted to utterly smash the entire Middle East, those who didn’t particularly care but weren’t too happy about the war, and those who were vehemently opposed to the war.
I am sorry to hear you went through all that Lykeios. I am not familiar enough with anarchism to know how it would solve the problems in the current system. Can you point me to a resource to get started on it?
Of course! Highly recommend Kropotkin and Goldman. You might also look into or reexamine Marx. A lot of overlap with anarchy and communism/socialism. I’m an anarchocommunist myself, though I’m also big on anarchosyndicalism.
There are definitely a few psychopaths in there for sure. But I wonder what the split is between psychopaths and those folks who are just following perverse incentives
The government hasn’t represented the citizens since they gave control of our sovereignty/ money to international banks in the 1913 since then the government represents the banks and corporations not we the people..I am doing fine because I learned that at a young age..And never needed the government for anything.It’s a shame that most people think it’s some one’s job to take care of them..Government gives and government take..They all suck

Thank you for this. This is just what I needed to read today after seeing an article by a one percenter in finance. He was lamenting the general resentment of the wealthy and simply did not understand it. As one of the poors, I have been enraged by it all day. This calmed it down and put some sense back in me. Thank you.
I hear you. I do not know who this person who wrote the article is. But wealth can put people awfully out of touch of problems being faced by majority of the folks. It doesn't necessarily require malice, it's just a lack of exposure.
But I do think resentment of the whole wealthy class is a bit of a problem. There are many rich people who have worked hard for their wealth and they shouldn't be vilified along with the psychopaths. There are good people among the rich, just as there are assholes among the poor. I worry about the class warfare we find ourselves in now instead of coming together to build alternatives :-/
Guess what. You don’t even have to be the traditional vulnerable to feel this way, personally screwed over and convinced that adequate justice will never be done nor the problems fixed and to feel enraged over it. I feel all of that and I’m a born-privileged type. The thing is unless someone is a billionaire or a hundred millionaire I think it’s rigged against everyone else, myself included. I’m not going to go out and start breaking society through utter mayhem and murder and so on. It’s not in my nature to react those particular ways. But my poisoned attitude contributes to the breaking of it. My lack of ability to believe in what I used to take as givens. My diminishing hope. My refusal to trust anything period. My desire to withdraw into a shell of a person and avoid participating in life. Etc. I was born the opposite of this. And it took a mere three months to destroy my trust forever in everything around me and I’m opposed to being otherwise than basically distrustful forever now. Because I can’t unsee and I know what I’ve seen and am convinced I know.
I am so sorry to hear that. Things have definitely taken a substantial turn for the worse in the last 3 months. And I oscillate between hope and despair many days. That said, I have had the chance to meet some really inspiring people who are working to build alternatives to the existing system. Might I suggest joining some communities of folks who are working on these things to alleviate the despair a bit? I can share some resources if you are interested.
Yes, please. I’m also interested. I vacillate too. I’m worse when I read the news of dystopia. It’s an emotional roller coaster these days. Thank you for your kindness and your offer. I appreciate it.
He hosts a regular call to orient people who are just learning about the Metacrisis. If the term Metacrisis is new to you- I recommend checking out Daniel Schmachtenberger and Nate Hagens on YouTube. There is a lot of good information on there for understanding the problem and some potential solutions.
There isn't currently a community that offers a seamless on-ramp in terms of structured content and hand-holding, but people are working on putting it together. That said- most folks you encounter in these communities are very helpful and will gladly point you to further resources/other people if you share what you are looking for. I am of course available as well. I am increasingly convinced that there are a lot of people concerned about these issues and already working on them- we are just not aware of them due to lack of mainstream media coverage
Brilliant essay. But achieving fairness by stripping individuals of personal biases is a very difficult preposition.
The Rawl's theory is challenging to apply in practical scenarios.
But a dialogue must be initiated for only open communication lines can help in evolving a better system and reduce if not eliminate the mounting bitterness of inequality.
Thanks dad :) Rawls’s ideals are definitely difficult to live up to. I am hoping that seeing the plight of others more clearly can help us all have more empathy and provide a little nudge towards making something better at least, even if not perfect

That might be an interesting form of protest.
Just asking questions.
Haha. Wish you had been in court throwing this in the judge's face when the verdict came out
Great read Akhil! Thank you for shedding light on our current never ending crisis.
Thanks Nidhi! :)
Wonderfully put!!
Thanks Ryan!
Thank you Akhil. Thank you for breaking down the reality of today's world.

If we don't, we will all be back on equal footing starting our world from scratch. History tells us this, this time we need to heed the message to create a path forward.
Glad you found this useful Karen. Yes, we really need to heed the message. The stakes are way too high, and I don't think we will get a do-over :-/
Great read Akhil. Greed, both individual and corporate, seems to be root of all this.
Thanks Tummi. That is a part of it for sure. But the larger problem I think is one of incentives- both cultural and economic. Wealth is a marker of status and the stock market rewards short-term profits at any cost. We need a spiritual revolution as well as a systemic overhaul
Is this AI-assisted writing? Just curious.

The so - called elites are actively culling humanity and people still think there is a political solution lol vote harder
There are definitely a few psychopaths in there for sure. But I wonder what the split is between psychopaths and those folks who are just following perverse incentives
Not a clue on split is but none are like me
