This “mosh pit” is near. “We are never more than a hair’s length away from the symptoms of medievalism: economic chaos, social unrest, depraved morals, wild expenditures, debauchery and religious hysteria all lie just under the surface of our many veneers of sophistication.” But Khanna also views this muddle as “a good thing,” an opportunity to get “all hands on deck to manage challenges that no government or organization can tackle alone.”
If he's really looking for Bill Gates, George Soros, and the big oil companies to put the screws to corrupt nations, I doubt his "next Renaissance" is coming any time soon.
