The hardest engineering problem is not interplanetary escape — it is designing a civilization that refuses to collapse into either centralized machine-slavery or fragmented ego clan wars. The answer is neither Left nor Right, neither East nor West. It is below and between: the region. The Question That Should Keep Us Awake Why …
The current global landscape is dominated by what we might call "ego clan wars"—centralized power structures competing endlessly in zero-sum games.
