With demise of the Nation-State, so goes the demise of the leaders. This is something few seem to agree with at this point but it will become evident over the next couple decades as we see a radical expansion of the digital world (to an ever greater degree than it is now).

Also, who is a worse dictator and more dangerous? Someone like Putin or Zuckerberg? Who has the ability to affect more people?

Finally, at some point, the aggression you speak will not be military in the same regard. That is 20th century. The next generation wars will be cyber in nature. That is why cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing fields.

No longer will military occupation be the way to take over a country. Instead, simply attack it and take over its networks.

Which brings us back to the problem of centralized entities in the world of data which governments are.

You are right, a very detailed discussion.
