I agree with many of your points. In particular, the optimistic part. As you say, " We are right on the cusp of massive social change,..." I'm referring to it as a renaissance.

This may not be the best example, but looking at myself as an illustration, I have enough to have purchased a drone, a DJI Mavik Pro, something I would not have normally purchased for myself. By doing so, I now have entered into this world of not only flight, but video editing, something I knew nothing about. I've entered into self induced university that I wasn't planning on. I was so ignorant has to how ignorant I was. In 6 months or less, I'll be much less ignorant, that's the plan anyway.

I am confident that myself as an example is but a drop in the ocean of things that are and especially those to come.
