Time travellers should prepare for tough sledding. If you went back to 1820 or even 1920, all the sudden changes would discombobulate you. And the same is true for someone who came forward to today.
We’ve got a
deep-seated desire for things to go back to normal, the way we were used to.
But this, this
moment of ours is now normal.
For now.
And then, there
will be another normal.
There is no “the new
normal”. Because that’s definitive.
There’s simply the
normal of now.
A new normal. This
too shall pass.
“We sense that ‘normal’ isn’t coming back, that we are being born into a new normal: a new kind of society, a new relationship to the earth, a new experience of being human.”
