Yes, I agree, but I don't think there's any realistic way this is going to happen given the current geopolitical situation.

My mind could change on this, but I doubt it will: Pandora's box has been opened, it is impossible to close, and we'll just have to wait & see what happens or participate and try somehow to steer it or become more enlightened in the process, or both.

Either way, this is a ride we can't feasibly get off.
