Yesterday I had a very good day. The roadwork near my apartment complex that prevented me from easily driving south was finally completed. I liked the number I saw when I weighed myself on a scale. I had two nice meals, a job interview was scheduled for later, and I had a nice visit with friends.
I thought of this quote from Young Justice, my favorite contemporary animated show.
Will 2021 be as asterous year? What would an asterous year look like?
The most ridiculously wonderful thing I can come up with is that research on Covid leads to a breakthrough understanding of the nature of viruses in general eventually leading to a Star Trek-like "anti-viral" medicine that can be used to treat all viruses.
Something more plausible is that Hollywood woke culture breaks down. What I'd really like to see (and it may be happening) will take longer than a year to come to fruition. I would like to see Hollywood break and decentralize itself into smaller companies through the nation. I would really like to see more small niche films that take risks and fewer safe sanitized blockbusters.
I think some creatives being quarantined for so long could lead to a small artistic Renaissance. Some garage inventor may create something practical that could advance us technologically.
I kind of want to see the CCP will start breaking apart, but when/if it does, people will die, so I'm not sure I should be rooting for that.
