degringolade

I usually don't do resolutions anymore. There are too many years of such things not panning out.

I will try to keep a decent perspective about the world in this year of living dangerously. Mostly I will try to remind myself that this kind of nonsense has happened before and the world got through it just fine.

Earth Abides. That is one of the main truths that need to be remembered. You can cry and piss and moan all you want, but what is happening now in the world will not be all that important to people living in the 2200's. We will be merely an off period of eccentricity that someone will write about for other dilettantes

Doesn't mean that what will happen won't "leave a mark".
