Replying to Avatar Erik Dale

Nations are quite simply incompatible with the internet.

Like Catholicism after the printing press, or Monarchy after the death of God, they can never again be more than shells of their former selves.

This is inevitable, but..

The urge to resist this new reality could cause untold suffering, like the 30-Years War after the printing press, and the World Wars after the death of God.

Is this avoidable? Can we forge a new order in peace? Or must the old literally die first?

The death of God refers to his fall from unquestioned authority in the popular imagination after the enlightenment and Darwin. For instance, he could no longer be used to justify the divine right to rule.

People are so “enlightened” today that they worship the state or the weather instead
