> The seeming inevitable isn't. Things change.

Sometimes some things change, sometimes they don't. It depends how you look at it. For example: there is change, and then there is rate of change. The latter typically doesn't get a lot of attention.

I wonder how the Uighurs look at it, or the millions of downtrodden and disenfranchised people now and throughout history - differently than IT folks like you and I who have the luxury of waxing philosophical about such things.

I would say that this is both profoundly true, but also little more than a catchy slogan to reinforce the egos of people who think they are good.
