Hi Victor,

Based on a quick view of your PDF, I believe that would might very much enjoy the conversations taking place on the Facebook GameB and Rally Point Alpha discussion groups.  So: GameB is looking at alternative social organizations that might supplant capitalism as the next form of socio-economic organization; i.e. keeping the things we like (a steady supply of goods and services) and avoiding the things we don't like (assorted predatory behaviors).

Rally Point Alpha is trying to take a systems-complexity point of view, looking at the social-network as a whole as being a brand-new network model of human-to-human (brain-to-brain) organization, and how this affects politics, economics, society, and in particular, political beliefs and beliefs about how economies function.  A big part of this is techniques for "sensemaking" -- how to identify fake news, propaganda; psycho-technologies for organizing knowledge when the sensory system is flooded with bullshit.

Both groups are struggling a bit, as these are broad and vague and difficult ideas, but there has been some marvelously interesting stuff to come out of them. Strongly recommended is John Vervaeke's video lecture series "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis".  If you are a scientist, you might find episode 21 as a good entry point, as it puts the scientific revolution into context; it provides motivation for the earlier and later episodes.
