The balance between individualization and integration is very subtle. If we are to succeed, we must try to use all those communication tools. At the least we must avoid miscommunication. In my mind, to use communications to know each other prevents fear and renders infertile the ground for that alien virus of which I spoke earlier. The alternative involves tension, paranoia and war.
Communism is gone.
I come from a former communist country, and there is confusion because people are used to being told what to do. I don't think so. The world is no longer one-centered or bipolar. Power is increasingly decentralized. In today's multipolar world, knowing and tolerating each other is so important.
