The feudal and fragmented state is actually a consensus of an intermediate state, or a weak consensus, a decentralized consensus.

Feudalism and fragmentation are essentially the same thing, which is local control over autonomy (finance, military, personnel). For example, the states of the Eastern Zhou period were feudal, the military governors of the Tang Dynasty were feudal, the Three Feudatories of the Qing Dynasty were feudal, and the Southeast Mutual Protection Alliance at the end of the Qing Dynasty was also feudal; fundamentally, they are all the same.

The characteristic of feudalism is a strong internal grip, but often a low combat capability externally, and the feudal state is not conducive to economic development because liquidity is fragmented. Doesn't this resemble the current predicament of Ethereum L2? 😂

When the consensus of a unified state collapses, it often first experiences a feudal state. For example, the Tang Dynasty had a period of over a hundred years of regional military governors, and since the rise of the Xiang Army, the Qing Dynasty also roughly entered a feudal state. The assassination of the horse incident was a warning from the southeastern warlords to Empress Dowager Cixi, indicating that she should not interfere in the southeast.

The Cultural Revolution in New China was, to some extent, also a feudal system, with Red Guards rising in various regions. Fortunately, the consensus of communism was still strong, leading to a return to unity.

Conversely, during a change of dynasties, it often first experiences a feudal and fragmented state. There are rarely cases where a previous dynasty can be inherited without war or competition; generally, it must go through a selection process lasting several years, and sometimes decades or even a hundred years of feudal fragmentation.

The question arises: will this world ultimately end feudalism (in various countries) and enter a unified state? This depends on management costs and management benefits.

What globalists do is actually aimed at reducing management costs: deconstructing traditions, mixing cultures, etc., but they have not considered how to increase management benefits.

Perhaps technology needs to advance further. I always feel that "humans," as products of billions of years of natural evolution, possess value and energy that far exceed what a century-old AI can surpass. The value of "humans" may still be far from fully explored.
