up for grabs..................

 

A wave of revolutionary change emanating from the human/AI mind is about to crash into the institutions, inaugurating a cycle of demolition and reconfiguration. The experience will feel excruciating, like open-heart surgery without anesthetics. The objective will be in part nihilistic—wrecking the hated hierarchies—and in part utopian—democratizing and rehumanizing the ruling structures. The actual outcome remains in doubt, but we know that the whole of society, as it has functioned during the “long 20th century,” is up for grabs.
