it's not implausible, in my opinion, that the ideological decentralization could prove permanent as decentralized mediums of discourse challenge that of more centralized institutions.

meanwhile, the more centralized manifestations of the aforementioned artificial skewing of incentives and social engineering will arguably collapse or shift at some point

while this will not restore traditional ideals that more reactionary types advocate for (now will the ideals of their opposites reign supreme), there will indeed be an organic renegotiation of values that proves more sustainable. the process by which this is accomplished will likely be as chaotic as the breakdown of the old order, albeit more incremental.

i'm not against a permanent power vacuum, but it might prove to be... a strain on our souls. but maybe that is what will liberate humanity.

but if the ideological landscape remains decentralized, the consequence that points to is super interesting: it would only be possible that our renegotiation of values occurs at the meta level, i.e, values about how to have values, rather than what the values themselves are
