      Yeah I know this particular metaphor makes me sound like a subway preacher but the Book of Revelation aside there is just no possible way the economy snaps back to normal after this It would be a challenge with the best governance in the world, and we, uh, don't have thathttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1239901694877552647 …

      You'd think this one Horseman of the Apocalypse, Pestilence, would be enough of a common enemy for his brothers to recede in importance But no, Famine follows close behind, as people hoard and profiteer And our President keeps flirting with War to justify his own inadequacy

      And while I still don't actually feel like the worst case scenario is going to happen because I have to preserve what emotional functioning I can... whether our death toll is five figures or six or seven, things are NOT going to be okay a year from now and people will be unhappy

      And people who are unhappy point fingers And our current President is leading his whole party in deciding everything he could be blamed for is China's fault And while I still don't think WWIII is likely, I think that with a lot less conviction than four years ago

      Man I remember over and over having conversations with people, all kinds of people, who would perform cynical savviness "Do you think China will ever invade Taiwan? Do you think the US will ever invade Iran? What sets off the Big One?" And they'd laugh and go "Don't be silly"

      "The world is run by businessmen these days, not by ideologues All they care about is that the profits keep rolling in, and as long as that happens they won't disturb the status quo or let anyone else disturb it" Yeah well Looks like they don't have control over that anymore

      What absurd arrogance, worthy of Hari Seldon in Foundation To chart out a theory predicting how the next century will go that just assumes *no new things will happen*

      Foundation tops my list of "books people think they understand but should have actually finished". Just... the whole story is about how it doesn't actually work the way they planned.

      this is my fiance's favorite book but I have never been able to make it through the first two chapters. I guess... I should actually read it

      It's very old school, at least the original (which is from 1942) I'm not sure I'd recommend it as literature if it's not to your taste

          It does not make any excuses about being golden age sci fi. And even Asimov criticized the fact that 90% of the series is scenes of two people explaining how they just outwitted the other person.
