We need to start building systems that are not seamless, that are not highly interchangeable, that are not fully interconnected, and we have to include our human systems in that approach. How does one go about that in real life?
I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out too. I just know that the less diverse an ecosystem, the more vulnerable it is to destruction. Heterogeneity (and change, by the way, i.e being a moving target) mitigates against the risks of a monoculture. Homogenous, centrally managed, massively networked systems bring many benefits, but we are now seeing the sorts of weaknesses it brings, too.
