Dear Cary,
What do you think about Covid and Black Lives Matter in terms of historical perspective? I think that the Black Death in the Middle Ages paved the way for the Renaissance.
Is what we are going through (radical changes to social protocol) likely to result in a similar revolutionary change, and if so would future historians regard this change as a good or bad thing?

Dear Just Wondering,
Pardon me while I hyperventilate into a paper bag. Seriously, you overestimate my abilities. In a nice way, I mean. But really. It hurts my brain. I mean, did the 1918 flu epidemic permanently alter human civilization? Did Joe Strummer and Mick Jones ever find their way out of the supermarket?
