@kcarruthers We can be absolutely sure the incumbent social order will not survive; any one of decarbonization, agricultural collapse, or the rising sea would suffice that.
The trick is not so much to contest the really bad insecurity management that comes with people knowing they're going to lose relative status, but to find a way for people to participate in an increase in absolute measures. (More agency, larger choice space, greater egalitarianism in outcomes, etc.)
