• But could we at least try to register on the scale at all, and could we do that in a way that sticks to a set of morals and ethics from the ground up of the platforms architecture?

That. I am saying I have never seen a path to that, and I don't see it. If someone can figure out how to create a space where the world lives and grows to a size where everyone knows about it, and stays there. It never passes that level, and is able to maintain some set of ethics it was built on, and never be taken over or replaced by some massive amount of money from someone else as soon as it's big enough to be on the radar...I feel like I just wrote an entire statement of conflicting statements. But I'd gladly say sign me up and admit I'm the asshole if it can be done that way on this planet with these humans.
