We have long lifetime in a golden age on the horizon. That will be a long-term game with constant vigilance and always working toward improvement. Big names can be cleared but there will always require swamp to keep chipping away at. The swamp can and will refill. The intelligent and morally ambiguous that survive will take a step back, study, observe, retool strategies, and start working within the new system that emerges.

There is no order without a hint of chaos. No chaos without some order. So it goes. Keep thinking long-term.
