Where right after the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution is like cranking.

Basically, we're already knee deep in the imperial system with like huge factories, railways.

It would be a nightmare to shift.

Massive engineering projects.

And there's no internet.

Like you can't just email people new plans or whatever.

Also, once you get the ball rolling on something, you can't do a big shift.

It just doesn't quite work with that many people to say like, hey, everybody, this is better.

So everybody start doing this.

You're like, no way.

Well, yeah, you just have systems in place that are very, very hard to undo.

It's over.

It's too late.

Even if the systems are wrong, you're like, we're pot committed.

Yeah.

I still think you can make the commitment and then account for the difficulty of the transition in some ways and just know that you're in for a tough slog, but that the other side is like so much better.

If you can get there, but it takes a generation to sacrifice for the next generation.

Pretty much.

You're right.

Cause you're like, then there's going to be like some like older guy who's like, I can't wrap my head around the new stuff.
