America is beginning to fail.

3. No question.

'm watching the France series Balthazar which takes place in 2018-19. I was
looking at the scenes and the architecture, and I suddenly realized that it was
before the virus. So now I will forever think of the virus as similar to the
Great Flood: ante-virusian and post-virusian. It will become an indelible
mindset now....

.... and our post-virusian world will be dystopian and very difficult to navigate.

As the scientists have warned, we destroy nature at our peril... and even in a
post-virusian world, I see us still having to deal with a reactive natural world
that will continue to cause harm and chaos.

It would take a complete metanoia on the part of the collective global society
to even make a dent in healing our hearts, minds, and the environment.

If that hasn't happened yet, in the face of an epidemic like this, I don't really
see much of a future ahead of us.
