There’s one little historical thing about paradigm changes that all of the analyses, theorizing and cautionary thinking will not change, and that is: everything adapts to the new paradigm…not the other way around. I know that is anathema to the researcher, theorist and conservatively minded, but that’s what happened when agriculture, helio-centrism, the printing press and the Reformation changed everything in those spheres of human endeavor, and with Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting the obviously increased individual, commercial and systemic workability and general progression will be the same. There’s no end to history and theorizing will pick right back up shortly after the new paradigm becomes the new integrated reality, but there is never a return to an old paradigm.
