a moment of synchronicity here-
someone said in a conversation to me just yesterday "it's going to be weird when people refer to the "20s" from now on. There will be some grey area(e.g. people could be referring to either the 1920s, or 2020s).
i wonder if the people in the 1920's had these same thoughts about the 1820's"
i said "they were too busy doing the charleston, drinking bootleg whiskey, and crashing the stock market to have such thoughts"
Crashing stock markets and thoughts of possible war? Sounds familiar. Just have people off their head on weed these days :) We live in interesting times. People say history goes in cycles, but there's no precedent for the world we have now.
I try to be optimistic despite the crap.
