        We could use some preposterously optimistic scenarios right about now.

        I have lost track of how many books I have read recently (mostly on my kindle app). Mostly escapism and fiction though I have also been looking at chess books mostly on forwardchess.com and on my kindle as well.

          We stop thinking about money and start thinking about each other. We stop overpopulating and over-polluting. We learn to respect Nature. We get through this with a new level of understanding as a species.
