For folks who like joining things and building with others, this is a solid articulation of why coordination—not outrage—is the real pressure point.

What lands for me is the move away from Left/Right theater toward a single legitimacy test: does the system preserve human life and well-being, or does it consume it? Once you name that clearly, a lot of “normal” behavior stops looking normal.

I also appreciate the emphasis on receipts over belief and on small, distributed action rather than saviors or grand revolutions. Convergence isn’t about marching in lockstep—it’s about shared recognition reaching critical mass.

Worth a read if you’re wired for collaboration and want to see how people are trying to build parallel infrastructure instead of just critiquing the old machine.

Great article! Think about 15 minute cities and internet censorship. “They” are working to prevent convergence, but people are clever - there are always workarounds. Humans are social animals - isolation is cruel and inhumane punishment. 😡
