Who said I wasn’t paying attention? Who said the speed of time was defined by the span of one human life?

It is quick in terms of the lives of nations. I say quick in terms of a perspective of decades vs. centuries.

How is it a misinterpretation? Have you ever heard of punctuated equilibrium? I’m viewing it as a form of this. Please elaborate as to why you see my view as wrong.

As one of your neighbours to the North, I’ve seen this happen within my lifetime as well. Ironic that the Matrix predicted the apex of our civilization to be around 1999. It’s quickly coming true.

My point is that it was moving relatively fast now, with benefits to be reaped within the next few years.

I mean quickly compared to before. They started after the Opium Wars, their efforts are only now coming close to fruition.

China is quickly becoming the spiritual successors to the US. What it means for the world? Not anything great at this point.
