1/ Interesting thread, and I'm glad to have read it. My take is exactly the opposite: I have ALWAYS expected a pandemic. I have ALWAYS expected a nuclear war. Maybe bc I'm pretty far out on "the spectrum", but to understand a thing is to appreciate its historic inevitabilityhttps://twitter.com/JeffLadish/status/1308163740219523073 …

2/ As a teen I saw that the runways of LaGuardia, etc were near the highway, and marveled at how easy to would be to put a mortar in a minivan and blow up full loaded planes on the ground. I drove through the Lincoln tunnel and imagined a Ryder truck full of explosives.

3/ 9/11 didn't surprise me at all - I'd thought of exactly that scenario and was - if anything - surprised it hadn't happened much earlier. I'd always expected another Black Death, and The Coming Plague (1996) gave me all the details.https://www.amazon.com/Coming-Plague-Emerging-Diseases-Balance/dp/0140250913 …

4/ The "unthinkable" is not just thinkable. It's inevitable. There will be plagues far worse than this one. There will be nuclear war. The US will end, likely in civil war. A million monkeys on a million typewriters eventually write every book in Borges' library.
