Shloky on the decline of the state, and the rise of the empowered individual:
As individuals are progressively empowered, which is to say progressively accentuated as humans, large scale collective movements – like nationalism – die. This is the divergent nature of multiple empowered decision cycles. This is what is termed “a sapping of national will”. The only way to force the millions of decision cycles into one, once residual nationalism dissipates, is to become a police state.

Empowerment is inversely proportional to the size of the collective. It is time our state structures reflected that.
A powerful argument for decentralization and individual liberty.
