As usual, Keith ignores the crucial differences between today and the past. Usually, it's the stone-age fairy tale, this time it's Medieval City-States. The infernal combustion engine (especially the particularly dirty varieties used in China, without catalysator and fine-dust filters) creates such a toxic environment in these cities that creativity is stifled rather than promoted. Also, as Keith concedes, the Internet enables creative minds to cooperate without physically meeting in cities -- they are better off (and can afford) living and working out in the green.
