Crypto-positivity is countercyclic to nationalism in a different way than cosmopolitan globalism

Cosmopolitanism= nations winning peacefully, at-peace world win-winning. Positive-sum

Nationalism: zero-sum tense competition among nations over resources

Crypto-future: X% of nations in conflict-failure. Negative-sum

Cosmopolitanism has a long history stretching far beyond fordist industrialism. It goes back to the bronze age long-distance trade in tin for example. It is an independent thread of world history.
