Brace for 2021

Prediction: it’s 2021, not 2020, that will go into history books as the year when it all started. It will be far, far worse than Covid-19. And it will be done by humans to other humans.

And what’s Covid? First of all, a global tragedy. But also a convenient scapegoat for unavoidable compound consequences of decades of short-termism, borrowing from the future and economic recklessness. A convenient opening for imminent redistribution of power. A convenient primer to warm people up to the idea of death at scale.
