Your argument has ground, and is well written. After all, we are inherently designed to share our own experiences with others, and there will be no society without this function. It's what makes us human. It's what allows us to feel belonging.

But I would argue that sovereignty of individuals is in fact an important facet a soceity, and not a contradiction. The greatest minds have pushed forward by questioning the status quo. What we each bring to the table (and choose to bring to the table by our own free will) is where humanity shines.

I do see your point that the singularity may be inevitable. Companies work best when every person contributes to the fragment of "The Commons" as you say. It is definitely a matter of perspective, and I appreciate we have different ones. There's room for both in a world where extremists are the ones who hurt us in the end.
