N=369, 39% think this is 75% new normal, 25% temporary weirding. Overall, 64% think we are dominantly in new normal (75% or 100%). Which means you should be long new habits, short temporary coping hacks.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1087463623922835456 …

The TW/NN dichotomy doesn’t capture the current possibility space. We‘re clearly experiencing a Great Weirding, but (a) it cannot be a New Normal in that it’s not a stable equilibrium, (b) we’re never going back to the Old Normal. Which must mean we‘re in a Transition. To what?

I’ve been calling it the PermaWeird. Endless transition.

I believe a new equilibrium will eventually emerge but I have no idea what it will look like

I'm betting it won't for a long time, at least on a global scale, and what we'll have instead is a bunch of local normalcy islands constantly disturbing each other. Just wrote about the idea earlier this weekhttps://www.ribbonfarm.com/2020/02/18/weirding-diary-11/ …
