Brilliant. The writing has an impressive stride. But what do you mean "And this is where history returns"? I thought you might suggest that any time when ignorance meets ubiquity violent schisms occur, which might realign priorities. Instead, you say everything has progressed, but nothing has changed. A whole hell of a lot has changed: culture has flatlined and is "unliving"; work has become a mindless performance equivalent to taking out the trash; people have become the servile audience of the narcissistic overclass: did Apple know that the screen from which the overlord shouts at the grey masses would be manufactured by them? ETC. It's horrific and everything you carefully and fluently depict; to have concluded so abruptly seemed false.
