I don't think we're almost there, but indeed there are terrific efforts 
to bring about 5G and dismiss previous technologies (e.g., 3G in the 
USA). Unfortunately I don't think the usual "progress" is ecologically 
sound, as most of the energy is consumed before devices hit the market.

I like the idea, but I can't see how this is possible outside of Africa, 
where there is some cultural background to it. Even there, a single 
computer means a SPOF, and given that in many megalopolis buildings are 
themselves becoming their own data centers (being computerized to show 
off highrise-size displays) we're very far from any kind of probably 
decision-making process to make this happen.

I don't think those threats are of any importance with regard to the 
ecological threat already set in motion.

This is what Heather Marsh has been proposing ever since Binding Chaos 
in 2014. Her upcoming books may be of interest to you on this and other 
topics.

Do you mean, like the Nielsen-Ninomiya Theorem?

I fear total peace won't happen in our lifetime, unless it's total death.

I don't think you can do anything towards your goals with this premise.
Hackers don't wait for authorization: they rely on invention. Anyway, is 
responding to your email not a way of modifying it?

Maybe LSD might be of interest in the context of HDM for the Masses.
As Alex mentioned elsewhere, The Rose of Paracelsus: On Secrets & 
Sacraments, by William Leonard Pickard, is now available as ebook, and a 
new print is on the way for August 2022. Hint. Hint. Speculative fiction 
to change the world with acid. Woohoo!

Oh, and while we're at it. Hacking Decision Making for the Masses is 
called propaganda, it's in use everywhere. I find it as unethical as 
your proposal to force "ze masses" into decisions. Maybe shutting up the 
occidental loudmouth and listening to other cultures might be a good 
start to avoid global catastrophe. But are we really able to STFU?
