The main message of “Saved in Time”

“The novel has two important messages for the reader. The more obvious one is the suggestion that in our current geopolitical reality resurgence of totalitarian fascism is a real possibility. The other, more subtle message is: A stable, sustainable social organization can not be based on any hierarchical domination-structure such as have ever been tried in human history – they are all inherently self destructive. Any working social organization must be a consensus-based anarchy (as described in the Atlantis chapters) and, for that to be possible, we have to deal with our species-wide genetic brain disorder that drives individuals toward an ultimately suicidal and self destructive domination strategy. If humanity manages to weed these individuals out by education and constant vigilance, the human species may have a chance to avoid extinction.”

For specifics on consensus-based anarchy, read Noam Chomsky (the most brilliant American intellectual ever) on Anarchism. One link: https://bigthink.com/politics-current... The historical examples quoted all failed for the same reason: no one dealt with "our species-wide genetic brain disorder that drives individuals toward an ultimately suicidal and self destructive domination strategy. " Until it's done, every noble experiment will be corrupted and destroyed by those suffering from the dominating-brain-affliction. (As more and more people use the 'insane' word repeatedly these days.)
