I agree with the people who think of it as doom. Lagging 30 years behind every 70 years would put you 100 years behind after a couple hundered years. That's not for me. I think the answers to our problems have usually come from the future, not the past. Everyone who disagrees with me can't read this, because they don't have a computer.

I guess this is just where we differ in opinion. I think upward mobility is only a virtue until it establishes a place you are willing to live for the rest of your life. When you are satisfied, why would you need change?

I didn't offer any value on upward mobility. You did. I thought that it was ironic, given the position of the NewEconomist.
