 "Die westlichen Strategen wissen, dass Russland nicht die Absicht hat, Europa anzugreifen, aber das Schreckgespenst eines aggressiven Russlands „vor den Toren Europas“ ist sehr wichtig für den Aufbau einer neuen Realität im Westen, ähnlich wie die Fantasien beziehungsweise Prophezeiungen von George Orwell. Alle dachten, er beschreibe Stalins Sowjetunion, aber er blickte hundert Jahre in die Zukunft des Westens."

 Rune, looking up for your thoughts.

One thing; I have seen this argument ("
First, history demonstrates that you don't need many people to change society for the better.") often and in fact I like it on first glance.
But.
It's mostly about violent change, one or the other way.

What one could ask is: if our stateship / political system was mostly given birth via a Constituent Assembly, it needed more than a few people.

So, if it's done peacefully and in due process you will need more than a few.
And, yes, it's naive to expect anything from the masses. And, yes the freerider 40% are a real problem for any progress. They will "defect" when they have nothing left to lose.

Again, what's needed on the societal layer is a "sly, roundabout way".

 
 In this context, it occurs to me that I find the French word avant-garde very well fitting.

The goal must be a political system that is flat and decentralized in its structures, but at the same time defensible, based on a new money. The big question is how the transition should be structured. If it is not planned, there is the old danger: old wine in new bottles, or the (old) wolf in sheep's clothing. no gain

very curious how and when all this will play out 
 
could we please develop an AI supported proper name pronunciation APP for all the particularly linguistically gifted podcasters of this world (i.e. only for nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq9hxafw) that completely deletes and replaces his pronunciation from the audio track?! 
 it is virtually impossible not to make pronunciation errors with proper names
