I don't quite feel like it's *done* because that's buying into the end of history illusion. Stuff can and does change very quickly all the time. But we are definitely past the point where change will be easy. Now the only choices are hard ones. And yeah, the best time to act was long ago.

Most leaders don’t realize they’re the reason their team is stuck. • They think their management style is final. • Their team has peaked. • Their culture is set. That’s why they stop growing. It’s called the End of History Illusion—the false belief that who you are today is

It is unlikely that someone like Fukuyama does not know that only the devil speaks the language of appeasement with his own kind! It seems that the ultimate consequence of the failure of the "End of History" illusion has led to prostration and submission before the devils!

Seems like a good time to repost this. Resist strenuously the "end of history" illusion. There is no event beyond which the world transitions to a static state, for good or ill. Tomorrow will be like today was yesterday, a complete unknown wherein something could radically change the landscape.
