There are times in history known as phase transitions when one era dissolves & another emerges. The end of one & the beginning of the other is often marked by a major event (war, assassination, pandemic etc) but the forces leading up to the transition were at work for much longer

It is a telling reminder as we see fear driving us to seek a strong leader, that those at the top are but a reflection - combined- of us below. If we don’t want to live under tyranny then it is us who must change .
