As we enter [[2022]], I believe we are in a better position than ever to accomplish many great things as a society -- and this goes for many definitions of society, up to and including perhaps the most important, that as society as the group of all humans[^1]. In particular I believe that we are entering a [[renaissance of the internet]] that will enable it to deliver on the promise of a distributed commons that stalled somewhat in the last fifteen years due to the success of [[anti disintermediation]] as effected by interested parties. But hopefully you won't have to take my belief at face value; let me try to show you why I think what I think.
Consider the potential of the [[commons]] as illustrated by [[Free, Fair and Alive]] and the work of [[Elinor Ostrom]], taken in the spirit of a alternate timeline [[solarpunk]] [[Friedrich Engels]]: [[utopian socialism]] and the internet (seen through the lens of the [[theory of the commons]]) really go together at least as well as a horse and carriage. Engels came up with the carriage (the plan, the blueprint) but didn't have the horse to drive his vision effectively. This is my vision: the internet is the horse that can drive the [[revolution]] we need, the machine that Engels and [[Protopians]] before and after him were missing, and it is more than just machine, because it is endowed with higher consciousness.

[^1]: I would myself include [[all sentient beings]] in the most general definition of this group, including those made out of silicon, but that's a topic for a different writeup.
