Not the world, our patch on it. We more or less succeeded in the physical world depending on who you ask. Don’t see the problem with the digital.

Are you not aware that the internet is an international artefact? Will you institute a Great Firewall to prevent your citizens from seeing outside your borders?

An inconvenient question I often ask about proposed architecture changes is: "How will you get there from here?" - if you can't answer it then it's not going to happen.

I am, in fact, aware of that.

> if you can't answer it then it's not going to happen.

My point is that if we as a technical community don't start looking outside our technical bubble the powers that be will at some point figure out a way to get there from here and without consulting you (us). But maybe that's wrong and maybe nothing's going to need changing. I hope so.
