The old world of tech is dying and the new cannot be born

The author argues that Western culture's Christian heritage has instilled a tendency to view major events as revolutionary "before and after" moments, exemplified by phrases like "this changes everything!" However, historical and scientific analysis reveals that paradigm shifts are actually gradual processes where old and new ideas coexist and influence each other, rather than sudden transformations. The author cautions against expecting revolution while remaining open to how significant events can fundamentally shift our understanding of how the world works.
