That’s what 2020 has felt like to me. The fall of Rome. It’s like we had every single advantage we could have wanted and blundered it all. Maybe we just aren’t meant to be this connected, thus aware, this effective. We’re just not responsible enough to be so efficient at changing our world.

Actually I think the global side of things has held up remarkably well. There were brief shortages in supermarkets early on but when you consider the changes in our eating habits it wasn't much. The doomsayers would have had us eating each other by now.
