A thread Im excited about right now is the notion of "contextual integrity", or what I'm calling broad data:

The institutions needed to reboot political life in the face of centralized intelligence and authority will form in the buffer zone surrounding rivers and water systems. Its how society emerged ages ago, and how we will rediscover it now.
