My comment is related to the video, but not obviously:

One after another the problems with our institutions are exposed, efforts to find remedies bear little fruit.   Confidence wanes, the institutions go into decline.

And so our system of Government loses support.  The question arises:  What form of governance are we evolving to replace the nation state? (aware citizens understand that it is incapable of delivering us from the ills we have collectively created.)

Think of each of us as a single cell amoeba. Eons ago, single-celled creatures came together and grew themselves into multi-celled animals. Groups of cells specialized. The individual cell was freed from needing its own repiratory, digestive, excretory, etc function.

The parallel in today’s world:   like-minded people (single cells) are re-organizing themselves.   They are moving outside their old physical relationships of nation states, religions and political parties.   They are coming together in new ways, creating new animals. 

The connection to this video? . . . technology enables us to speak with each other outside our nationa states, even though our languages don’t even use the same characters in our alphabets!  You will have no trouble understanding the video;  not a word is spoken.  

Like-minded people forming a new million-celled animal irrespective of nation states; we are an animal that is growing, an animal that will figure out how to protect that which gives us Life. The video makes our destructive tendency clear – – but there are millions of us, the Earth’s immune system, working together in self-organizing networks to create solutions. Vive!
