# If Something Becomes Big, It Will Fade

The world population is about 7.9 billions now. That means a perso
n is meaningless now, except a few. A point has no length.

If something becomes big, it will fade. Think of a small local com
munity. Like the one from Non Non Biyori. In this community, every
person has meaning. Just because the community is small. Even the
speechless brother has own meaning in Non Non Biyori. But this is
not possible for a big city. Everyone in a big city must be a mach
inary part by its size.

A big thing also makes the world central. To deal with its complex
ity, people will make things abstract. And that will make the worl
d central. Because "abstract" means "without a detail", and "witho
ut a detail" means "without a particular case".

So how should we revert? Remove the major factor. In many cases, t
he major factor is fancy technology. If that is not possible, then
try to Balkanize. Mix and match small parts like an Unix system.
