Maybe it depends on which areas we talk about. Governments will cycle through centralization / decentralization. Information only seems to be going one way, in that it wants to be free and, in order to do that, it moves one-directionally towards decentralization.

Maybe, but this seems like a long period if so: mercantilism, democratization, publishing, etc. Maybe we’ll head towards some oneness crap as we become less biological or the computers turn us into naval gazers.
