And it also will depend on who is writing the history. If they are willing, I vote for a collaborative effort of DMT, L, and Werner... But there still is much story to be told.
Whatever the zeitgeist may be, I think it has something to do with a butterfly flapping its wings in a Brazilian rainforest...

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

ahh...good old google:
Zeitgeist (pronounced [ˈt͡saɪtgaɪst] (help·info)) is a German language expression literally translated: Zeit, time; Geist, spirit, meaning "the spirit of the age and its society". The word zeitgeist describes the intellectual, cultural, ethical and political climate of an era or also a trend. In German, the word has more layers of meaning than the English translation, including the fact that Zeitgeist can only be observed for past events.

"Screw it, I'm going Climbing." (Overheard in J. Tree at a local climbing venue in response to political and financial news) Good response I thought to the "spirit of our time". LRL

Maybe Jebus, may be.
