However, a circumstance that has arisen and is now apparent to any that carefully consider political developments is that decentralization of the means of production severs the dependence of humanity on institutions, reforming political power and economic development on the basis of the creation and possession of wealth, and the power it creates. As long as wealth is created through centralized industry, hierarchies will extract and concentrate the lions' share in walled gardens controlled and employed by the majority investors, political leaders, and military forces used by them to project that power possession of wealth avails them.
Dear @valued-customer !
I thought the United States was currently colonizing China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan through the semiconductor industry and artificial intelligence!

I think it is better for the United States to be the hegemony of the Asia Pacific than Russia and China!
IMHO the laws of physics will mandate that society will adopt decentralization and eschew hegemony without doubt. While our feeble understanding of reality leaves us susceptible to misconceptions and gaslighting by clever deceivers, the laws of physics are not, and economic factors underlie every natural process, from the formation of galactic structure to the price of candy. Regardless of the susceptibility of mere hominins to duplicity, these fundamental processes that determine all physical events and evolution of processes will also determine the evolution of civil society.
We observe that cataclysm always extracts it's pound of flesh, but such barriers to development are inevitably surpassed and processes proceed according to the laws of physics. Humanity is part of the universe no less than the rest of observable reality, and the laws that govern all physical processes ongoing also govern civil society. There is ahead of us a rocky road, but the destination towards which we journey cannot be someplace other than has been laid out by these mechanisms. Humanity cannot deviate from our natural purpose, no matter our vanity, our conceits, nor the arrogance of our overlords.
We will be free, and our posterity will prosper throughout the universe, taking possession of the stars of the heavens at our whim, for the felicity of our posterity in perpetuity.
Thanks!
