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.

True this pandemic has laid bare the many inequities world wide and the pent up demand of survivors to party is strong. Very possibly this "renaissance" you predict may be led by artificial intelligence. - but as the Zen monk always says; "We'll see."

Spanish Flu > Roaring 20's > Great Depression > WWII... We appear to be in the Roaring 20's once again, see the huge stock market bubble we are in today as evidence.

Not actually it isn't. It is going to be followed by rapid inflation people cannot even begin to fathom how much everything is going to cost when all of this free money hits the open market. It is going to be super expensive and is going to cause more problems than ever

With all due respect. As a historian I need to chime in. The Renaissance only happened when the power centers adopted the educational & scientific standards of the Islamic empire, which was thriving. We live in an evil for-profit oligarchy. We are literally the dark ages part 2.
