2. Those trendy buzzwords
I often hear persons on DU complaining about metanarratives, like
"wouldn't we be better off without religion", yet the narrative is
deeply entrenched.

"wouldn't we be better off without the drive to "progress", yet the
narrative is deeply entrenched.

European countries are experiencing an ending of these narratives,
where organized religion is dying out, and so many others, so of
course post-humanism is largely a european evolution.

And it seems, sorry for the oblique language, that the nation states
founded during the period of "modernism" are permanently stuck there
until they have a "revolution and break them permanently".

It may be indeed the rule of force of a brutal aristocracy, but that
itself is couched in cultural memes or it would not have wings.

Evolving a new framework for out future world that will not self-destruct
is in all our interests, even with the fist fight you mention.
