I think we'll go back to a new normal, and hopefully a better normal? I'm still optimistic

Well, it'll be a different normal, but better? That's entirely subjective. I didn't like our new normal after 9/11. I know how these situations turn out, historically. There's always an overreaction and overcorrection, like the era of prohibition following World War I and the Spanish Influenza pandemic. I don't trust people to not screw everything up.

Happy birthday, Alex
![]() ![]() I think normal was good for some people, but it's very evident that it wasn't for a lot of others, and I think if we as a generation can do something to make it better for everyone, then we should try our best to do that. Progress can't happen if nothing ever changes, I guess? ![]() __________________

![]() Well, change is actually the one constant, Anja. ![]() ![]() After World War I and the Spanish Influenza pandemic, the USA thought the best way to make the country a better place was to eliminate society's problem: alcohol. That's when the Prohibition Era began and that brought about more problems than it solved; organized crime, illegal bootlegging, the Mafia, etc.. I'm always cautious of reactionary politics. I'm a fan of relevant and practical change. Once it gets ideological, that's when I get red flags. __________________

I think it's about time we "overcorrect" some of the past though, especially when it comes to social issues and climate change. Time is literally running out for us there.

Climate change I agree.
![]() Socially... I'm very cautious. I approve of improving healthcare, improving economic opportunity, and improving law enforcement and the criminal justice system to make it more fair. But... I'm wary of political correctness, identity politics, group-think, and any of the stuff they warned me about in those books they made me read in high school. ![]() __________________
