Re: End of a Decade
#3The comments about neo liberalization at the end make me wonder if the “20s” will be remember as an era of Anti globalization and nationalism.
We saw it start to take hold about halfway through this decade and I wonder if the trend will continue.

#5There's a lot of.. weird stuff in here.
- The idea that Apple, Amazon, and Google entering into healthcare would be taking healthcare services "away from centralized gatekeepers." What?
- Two lines about Climate Change in the whole post, and the 2nd is "We’ll remember this as the decade of unfortunate procrastination." That's quite the understatement.
- "We’ve also had more equal access to the good parts of economic growth." This needs explanation. Who is "we"? What are the "good parts" and the "bad parts" of growth?
- "Everything has gone from centralized to distributed." No, not everything. In many important ways the opposite has happened. eg. corporate conglomeration.

#6You mention gatekeepers going away, but aren't the barriers to doing information warfare held by the same gatekeepers (the monied and the state)?

#9I feel like decades stopped having distinctive identities somewhere round 2000.
Previous decade-by-decade changes from the 50s to the 60s to the 70s to the 80s to the 90s were, it must be admitted, mostly aesthetic rather than being the “fundamental changes in society” that people like to pretend — people in general didn’t become greedier in 1980 and less greedy again in 1990. But there were huge changes in the aesthetics of everything — clothes, interiors, graphic design, music, cars etc.
What has changed since 2004, in the actual physical world?

There are other types of reaction to neoliberalism (and the concentration of power in a handful of people that seems to be its hallmark in this context). They seem to have far less steam than nationalism, but there's a few other ways things could go. Mostly nasty, I suspect, though :(
