Something I think about a lot is how to translate the communities we build online into the real world where we could conceivably wield socio-political power and start to build the sorts of places where we could thrive. But if you say "come to this town; we're based" then our enemies immediately know where to attack.

But I'm not smart enough to come up with a good solution. Maybe "the solution is not minding that it hurts"; I don't know.
