The spell of the War was good and finally broken around Katrina, when I think the country collectively realized Bush was broken. It was a bit of a relief, but even then--I don't know. I don't think things seemed anywhere near as bad during the GWoT as they do now.

The week Bear and Lehman went down, I did buy some extra supplies just in case things got dicey, but that passed pretty quickly. There was a kind of lights-going-out-all-over-Europe vibe to it, though. Probably we haven't really recovered.

I guess I keep returning to what I thought and who I was when I was trying to go to sleep on 1/1/00 trying to wrap my head around what in God's name could have gone so horribly awry that led us to This If Covid had hit instead of 9/11, would it be like this? I don't think so

I suppose my job is to tell you that beautiful future you saw was always mostly a projection of your own eyes, and not less for it, but more, a function of something Good and Innocent and True that still exists within you and every other human soul... but it still hurts.

I think this pain shows you are as human as those who would manipulate such vulnerable and sensitive visions, such innocence, to terrible ends. And so it itself is a lesson that can improve the world, and so maybe the pain has some purpose
