  1. IEEE has nothing to do with IPv6. The IETF is the body that developed that standard, their standards are generally not government enforced -- the industry has voluntarily accepted IETF standards because they were developed by industry participants. I think DS is stretching a bit on this point with his implication that centralized government regulation should be credited with the success of the internet since the historical facts largely say otherwise.

  2. The fourth turning is specifically a pattern of American culture and politics. It is not a misinterpretation of global debt cycles but rather is a model that coincides with it. All models are wrong, but some models are useful.

  3. The myth that China "thinks in centuries" or w/e is inaccurate. The Chinese communists make 5 year plans that generally fail due to systemic and pernicious corruption. It really wouldn't even matter if they could think in centuries since they can't execute plans with any efficiency over any time scale. And as time wears on, the neo-Maoism of Xi Xinping is continuously degrading the ability of the Chinese state to do anything except promulgate propaganda.
