Globalism (I agree with Leyden as you know) is the inevitable reality. The question is not if, but how. The main key is taking political power back from the 1% and the corporate world, as we the people did in the last 4T. It must happen again, and then we can balance globalism and the middle class. Whether Leyden is up on what all needs to happen in this regard, or that would satisfy you, I don't know.

Most techies I know, and I worked for decades in tech, are neoliberal idealists.  I wouldn't invite them to lead the parade.  Tech is miraculous, as Arthur C. Clarke noted many times, but it is only accessible to the tech-savvy.  It's not a full answer, just a sliver.
