"the ’90s, that bizarre blip in American history where it seemed like we were living in an eternal present, the End of History"

That's something millennials & later won't understand: 2000 was a mental barrier we couldn't really think past. Objectively, people may have addressed the next millennium's dates, but we just couldn't deeply believe we'd be living in what was always colloquially called "the future".
