Bubble Trouble

Agreed. I seem to notice a curious kind of dysphoria these days, as if a lot of folks can't quite decide what constitutes an action meant to preserve a thing of value (and understandably, if they're still caught in that strange psychological dragnet of worrying about seeing themselves as a pebble dropped into a wide pool - which causes endless ripple rings to radiate out into an infinity of causality....then every ring represents a potential carrier of something deadly....to someone.

It is true that many people now among us do not appear to value much, the past four centuries of what so many labored so hard to build, create, produce. Whether they think of it as the end of history, the right side of history, or a completely "ahistorical" thing -
history has a strange way sometimes of being an incredibly cruel teacher, when it comes to lessons not learned. The punishments can often not fit the crime.

(Personally, it is the literary output of humans over the past two and a half centuries, that I worry about the most.) I just can't imagine a world without that.
