Good time to be a futurist. Since all old futures have been trashed there’s demand for building up a whole new set of futures. Most futurists will fail though since they were trained in adjacent possible variational futures, not blank-modes futures.

It’s actually a great time to be a revisionist historian of your own life. Go back and review the logs and renarrate your life so it naturally passes through covid point and thrives beyond. “My whole life has been preparation for this moment” strategy.

Human biology is largely invariant: http://resiliencemaps.org just grinds out plausible futures because it lets you map from the invariants outwards. Really truly infrastructure is *where it is at*
