I'm having trouble with this article... where is the lesson they learned? No offering of what the newest generation is pursuing with naive and reckless abandon? What about what they believe currently about how a global world can be structured? How would they have done it differently if they could do it again? Sounds like they got relatively wealthy and powerful by building this internet they're disappointed in. If they feel guilty, are they working toward redemption? I appreciate the willingness to admit when one has been wrong, but this sounds to me like the person who has too much to drink, spills their cup all over your floor and goes "whoops, my bad, watch out for that punch, it's strong stuff..." and then walks away to get another drink while their spilled one soaks through the rug.
