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.
