Just as the bubonic plague was followed by a Renaissance, Covid is going to be followed by a renaissance as well. A radically new appreciation for the possibilities of life is pushing up from the bottom of things like the tiniest blade of grass pushing up from beneath the ground.

I don’t see a Renaissance coming from America, just don’t. The Italian Renaissance happened in Italy for a reason. American thought is not anywhere near ready for this kind of thought. America’s belief system is rooted in a rigid Protestant, punitive, work till u die system.

I didn’t say it’s coming from America. It’s non-local ... a global sensibility not rooted in any one particular area, ethnicity or culture. It’s coming from an aspect of who we are as human beings.

Why wasn't the 1918 pandemic followed by a renaissance, then?

It was followed by the Roaring 20s

Huh? the bubonic plague killed 26% of the world's population, Covid .04%! This is much more like the Asian Flu of 1958 (the one no one has heard of) that killed .06% of the population. I don't remember anything special happening after that!

A Nation Must Have A Soul — China's cultural optimism is providing the world with hope. China is on Mars, looking up to the stars! The West needs the same renaissance of beauty and hope. We need to run the economy based on uplifting humanity through innovation and culture.

Nothing changes unless I change. I can not point my finger “out there”, that’s the easy way to think I’m helping but am actually doing nothing. BE THE CHANGE you want to see in the world. -Ghandi
