Sure thing hoss, just because we know where the minefields are, we as individuals are now empowered to take hyper-focused walkies again. No need to fight those that lay mines.
No need for any real action, to change the government and force bad actors out of the game forever via a justice system.
Just stay divided a little longer, stay under the thumb a little more, believe in privatized problem-solutions overcoming systemic rot.
Liberal slob propaganda trying to stave of the overdue violent riots against the dystopia its spreaders built.
It was not really a base for capitalism to take hold and effect. It needs a basic rule of law and democracy to work. All it got was brief window of chaos, before the kleptocracy returned.
Best description of the cultural background i found so far was this:
But that is just art. Not great art.
Great art comes from stepping away from your peer group after you mastered it, being able to incooperate "unrelated" or "impossible" other concepts into the art. Its a subconscious process, of recombination and filtering.
And only some can boldly go, to were no person has gone before.
Which makes this the ultimate training goal for AI. Not AGI, but a synthesis AI, capable to produce "breakthrough" candidates for the field it is trained upon, by allowing noise and filtering for the criteria of great break throughs- explanation power, beauty, higher consistency, that puzzle piece fitting all gaps moment. If there is ever a creature out there, doing that, silicon or otherwise, humanity will own its continued existence to its existence.
The disaster is already preprogrammed. Lots of germans bought electric heaters to heat flats through the winter, as the heat provided by the house central heating will be reduced. Which will result in large increases of base load on the network, which already will be under strain.
Which means rolling black outs as soon as it gets cold. Perma-black outs if the people do not see reasons and unplug their heaters.
No solution has been proposed for this. The clever ones went for wood for heating.
Still preferable to shiver one winter through, then have it warm in putins prison.
They are also out of foreign currency like Sri Lanka. Which accelerates chinas problems, as pakistan is one of its debtors and will likely default on those credits.
To much rationality or filtering early on in creativity detrains your mind from being creative.
No dopamine on discovery of the new, prevents that circuitry from running after a while. Write it down, filter it later. Celebrate even ridiculous ideas and approaches, consider them not "failed" nonsense, but in-between-steps as your subconcious works on the next, better solution. Let self-critique not be negative "Ridiculous, never would work with the physics we got" but more "constructive" -"that would be great if we could get it to fly".
Also remember, that your subconscious works with the knowledge it got. It needs input, to create strange mashups. Get your input way outside of your field to not be stuck in the solutions of your peers.
Train boarding at least could be decoupled from slowing down and stopping. Just have a "Shuttle Wagon" depart pre arrival from the train with those who want to get out and another one speeding up with new passengers after the train as it passes through the station. Under ideal circumstances, a train would actually not even have to slow down for this. Con is that there is always a Shuttle in the station.
Remember also, that large companies have experimental expansion phases which they usually abandon once economic crisis dawns. If the thing you build is such a "experimental fort" - your parent company might be open to a "buy out", were you promise them favorable conditions by your future company with whom they share the IP.
The labs janitor sold dead animals for a side hustle, cheaper then cremation and the lower caste is not properly educated about bacterias, viruses and bio hazards.

Liberty that leads to decomplexification, leads to poor, aka less complex societies. All are farming, all are producing linearly for a exponential thirsty humanity.
The disaster is within liberty without bounds and mistaking societal complexity (division of labor) for enslavement. It has also repeated in other locations (ruanda, zimbabwe come to mind).
It needs to be even more standardized. So far in fact, that it could be part of a API, that could be handled by software, so that a robot could cancel the contract for the user. User should be able to create and cancel contracts via automated negotiation.
Science goes were the data goes and the data on half of humankinds actual, unfiltered thoughts and actions, are in big four datacenters.
This knowledge aggregated, mined and filtered, gives the "elites" a pretty good view on what human nature is really all about. And if you do not look on their words, but on their actions, one begins to grasp that hidden in that data, there was something ugly. Humanity is not the idealized version we like to think of ourselves.
There is something in there, that made them abandon all dreams of a good future through technology and embrace totalitarianism without second thought. One actually can see it in those haunted faces. One can see it through there investments and political supports.
They stare at us like we are a monster haunting their nightmares and will collapse into a anarchic butchering frenzy once push comes to shove.
I already can imagine some versions. For example, the journeyman were one visits various "experts" to become a better craftmans - traveling from home to home.
The forming of conference-clusters, were digital nomadic workers meet up at some place by tradition to jam and work on something, like a conference without the conference hall.
I can also imagine community, who specialize in a particular field. Like a suburb, dedicated to database optimization.
Or have some programming group in the park or on a train. If you are free from social constraints and locations- all it takes is good internet.
And committed a genocide in the process, but it was a truely horrific regime they overthrew and they have been in the "debt for uprising" doghouse ever since.
Debt of a country should be generational. If its not paid off within a generation (30 years) it withers
