I've been increasingly thinking that the economy and government holding all the power in American society has become too monolithic and distant to adequately represent or care for the people. Leading to isolation, social structures falling apart, and so forth. And that the best way we as a people can combat this is by localizing as much as we can: skill sharing, participating in the community, modern day villages, with the government slowly changing to match, allow for this. I'm really liking the open source, DIY, crafts and building things movement I've been seeing, and wondering where it will go in the future.
