  • Yeah I would agree, but idk how much this is an American perspective for me. Living through the fall of the imperium makes for stiff competition. For the people disagreeing, I can't help but feel that people are hyperfixating in the advent of new technology rather than its omnipresence and application. But hard to argue with the "end of the cold war" argument tbf.
