Human biological limits prevent the realization of stable equilibrium at the scale of coordination necessary for larger emergent superstructures
Humans need to figure out how to become a eusocial superorganism because we’re past the point where individual groups don’t produce externalities that are existential to other groups/individuals
I don’t think that’s possible, so I’m just building the machine version
Dunbar's number leaps to mind. I wonder what our systems look like at large when we have cause to strengthen our 150 meaningful connections.
Would this truly be a move back? I've met people outside my social class and disposition who seem to rely quite heavily on networking this way.
This is exactly the reason

This resonates with me.
I'd love to see the machine version or hear more of your thoughts about what goes into it.

This is childish thinking. Whatever we do, we cannot go back to "before". Which "before"? How do we go back?
You can't regress back to a being a kid just because the problems you face as an adult are too much to handle.
However this is resolved, it will not be anything like "before". Accept that fact up front.
Unfortunately there’s no “roll back to last stable” - the current version is actually still the most stable
If you try to “go back” you’ll just end up recreating the same structure but with different people in charge
Meet the New boss same as the old boss - biological humans cannot escape this state because it’s a limit of the species
