Summary
This text argues that in a highly interconnected, networked world, society needs sophisticated "gates" (monitoring and response systems) rather than "walls" (isolation) to manage crises like disease outbreaks or financial panics. Drawing parallels between the Ebola response and the 1929 financial crisis, the author warns that modern "Space Time Compression" makes the world vulnerable to rapid cascading failures without proper gatekeeping mechanisms.
