Why not thousands of years ago, when China was first rising? Why not 5 minutes ago? All of it is arbitrary and vibes-based for you, again, there's no reason all stages take the same time, or why you're framing it as many years of sacrifice to finally become a "good society" in several hundred years. It's ridiculous.
