I myself wouldn’t count the post as on of the better one’s of Scott but I don’t feel like you are engaging with it in a way that’s insightful. The point of his article isn’t that we should create the Archipelago society but Scott gives it as a model so we can think about decisions whether we move towards it or away from it.
If you think about a decision like California or Texas seceeding from the US that would be a move to become more Archipelago like and the case that’s made is that moves like that would be good.
