This is the only statement in the post I honestly disagreed with. Anton is trying to talk about how his coworkers have lost historical perspective and that he, because of the geopolitical situation of the space in which he was born, has more historical perspective and therefore believes that everything might got s**. It's a very valid argument.
Yet, I have 2 questions: - Doesn't the fact that there's a large group of people in the world (in North America, Europe, and other places) that believe in the stability of the system indicate that maybe they're actually experiencing history at a slower pace than their ancestors? - More importantly, isn't the intent to predict history by claiming to understand a change in the way it operates (in this case its speed) also a lack of historical perspective?
Otherwise completely understood the point + liked the idea.
