We won't save ourselves. We might slow the process, but the information environment is permanently altered and we can't put it back.

The information asymmetry between individuals and the powerful is permanently reversed.

Thinking about it in terms of the monopoly of violence being the root of power negotiations; typically a resistance movement has more information about the state/colonizer than vice versa, because power has to be visible - guerilla warfare thrives on this.

That's gone. The powerful will have complete detailed information and automatic analysis.

The medium is the message.
