My current plan is based on the idea that techtopia isn't possible and the happy future is a "low tech" future. This is true for individuals as well as entire communities. I'm not the only person who thinks this--there are countless YouTube channels and bloggers are covering the same topic from a variety of political points of view.
The interesting thing to me is people from apparently different sides of the political spectrum have identical goals and methods and even the same beliefs, though they might be dressed up in slightly different versions of ideology.
Some of the "permaculture" channels have a hippy-dippy world view and will cite commie examples as good models, e.g. Cuban society. The "homestead" channels are the right wing version of permaculture.
One of the things that's really interesting is both groups will cite corporate and especially financial influence (debt) as toxic and inimical to human happiness.
