This decade has been awesome, actually
I’ve published a post at The Business Insider that details the reasons why I think, even though most people seem to think otherwise, the past decade has been really good. The two reasons are the rise of Asia and technological disruption. I link to Ross’s latest column (and allude to Jim’s landmark National Affairs piece).
Also, it seems that Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, is a big fan of the Scene, having linked to both of these on Twitter! Soon we will all bathe in rivers of gold.

I hope you’re right PEG!

Is that a sneaky way of saying that our coming opulence will suffocate us by compressing our diaphragm?

Kristoffer: Actually, yes!

Even if the rise of billions to modernity in Asia costs the West some, IMHO it’s still worth it in the long run, because of the benefit to human progress as a whole.
