Right now society is monolithic. As individuals we are part of a highly coupled system and we would die without it. What we need are small communities that are independently self sustaining. That will be much more robust and eco friendly I believe

Don't think you understood my meaning. Trade community and tech are all good things and can coexist with self sustaining communities
