That makes sense to me. I know next to nothing about computers and code. I do know that I want my children to grow up in a world with less division. I am going out on a limb to say the United States has to lead the way.

You'd like Ivan Illich - try "Deschooling Society." He explains how liberating tools become institutions that create dependency.
The US is leading, just in the wrong direction. Exporting surveillance, weaponized identity politics, institutional capture. Maybe we need less leading, more building tools that work without anyone in charge..
I agree. We have a war economy. It needs to stop. I like Illich. His writing on conviviality struck a chord with me. My two youngest children have never set foot in our compulsory schooling system.
