Each of us must be the center of our own farm and trade network.
For various reasons, some of us have come to realize that as sentient and civilized humans, we must grow our own food. We must educate our own children. We must engineer our own culture. Each of us must decide who we can cooperate with based on their civilized moral conduct. We must buy and trade from local people that we trust wherever possible. We must avoid doing any commerce with any entity who may use those profits to harm us. We must avoid technology with secret and hidden functions that compromise our privacy and lock us in to certain brands.
We must engineer our own culture.
The difference between a culture and a cult is that culture has no central authority. If we allow another human to have authority over our culture, that becomes a point of control or failure. A self governed people must choose their own culture. Cultural engineers have found it very profitable to create a culture for us and we have let them. A government or a nation can not be conquered unless the culture is destroyed first. Government is down stream from culture. Government can only do what culture allows. A corrupt culture begets a corrupt government.
Each of us must decide what we consider to be our inalienable rights and afford those right to others. Those with similar views of civilized moral conduct will naturally form an alliance with no authority structure. A healthy culture of this kind will be far more effective at enacting a representative government. A lost and uncivilized culture is doomed to come under the control of warlords and despots.
