For this scaling to involve machines (computers, programs, networks and such, and I cannot imagine competitive scaling not involving machines - anyone?) another problem has to be solved, as the current crop of the available computing machinery is heavily biased towards individualistic outcomes. The redesign would be a major effort, as it definitely does not consist of another 'app'. It involves interventions at the infrastructure level, and there are $ trillions already invested in the current one, so it's hard.
How do you motivate open door crappers to lay own fiber, grow own silicon and use only P2P protocols with source routing? It's hard to even imagine this.

When I grew up in Manchester after the war, solidarity was a powerful weapon against privacy, the cult of being exclusive. We could not close our house doors since neighbors should be free to come and go as they please. When the men took their morning crap in the outside loos, they left the door open to converse across the low backyard walls. After sanitation was modernized, you could still accidentally run into a old lady in the bathroom who couldn't bring herself to close the door. All bedroom doors were left open. The corner pub was our living room. When the gas company started work with their machines outside too early, half a dozen women would assail them on behalf of "our street". They shut down the machines.
