Changing the cultural perspective IS the win. The rest will follow.
That is the point that the writer, who most of us admire greatly, was trying to make.
Not that eventual reversal is impossible, even I don't believe that, but what I do believe is that it will take a long time and/or some serious and perhaps catastrophic catalysts to cause that to happen within the near or medium term.
Near term politically to me is 5 years or less, medium term being 5-25 and long term 25-50.
Not sure what is going to happen or when...but I suspect it will not be very optimal conditions to live in and I do not believe that at this stage, it can be reversed or stopped.
