> there is no path to that level of transformation that doesn't require a period of large-scale human suffering

Eh? I question that assumption.



I should have qualified that as "I don't see a plausible path..."


Fair enough.

FWIW I'm working towards just such an economic shift right now. I just acquired some land for regenerative ag and a "living neighborhood"[1]

Something like a cross between Village Homes[2] and Riverbed Ranch[3].

It's meant to be a nucleus or catalyst for us to jump-start a Star Trek-style future without waiting for anybody else. (If it works they can always join later, after we get more land...)

I applaud your efforts and consider such things to be important.
