I think the pattern leading up to this situation anywhere in the world is the accumulation of power.

A society that is able to spread power as much as possible is more resilient in the long run.

How to maintain a wide spread dispersion of power? I have no idea.

My theory is that (in current society) this starts with spreading money. That's not trivial either but it feels at least a bit more tangible to me.
