The thing I miss most about the 80s is that for a moment, briefly, there was something it was like to be simply human in a global sense. We said ‘think global, act local’ and there was something that was actually about, beyond sentimentality, between ~1984-89.
Nah not the consciousness. The stuff you mention I count as part of the unraveling.
