It's not enough to say "liberalism has had a good 400 years but it has periodic backsliding as people get too spooked," because the democratic project of minority-protection requires that we *do something* about that reactionary instinct after technological destabilization.

The best Zakaria offers is e.g. Pres. Biden style economic populism + cosmopolitanism, which is great if you're *me*, but not apparently altogether that successful. Clearly we need a theory of rights/tech expansion that offers a smoother curve of progress. The current mode allows for too much pain.
