When you make some­thing new out of the old.

I must remind you that I’m wri­ting this post two months after New Year’s Day! It reminds me of a You­tu­ber who makes these kinds of videos where she goes back to the past to find out that the future isn’t much bet­ter after all.

I remem­ber thin­king for a moment that 2020 was a thing of the past, etc., but the date change is sym­bo­lic. Even the notion of a day is only based on the rota­tion of the earth. Yet, in our minds, we attach an impor­tant psy­cho­lo­gi­cal notion to this event. Today more than ever, I think that to have indul­ged in the roman­ti­cism of the New Year would have been very short-lived.

I can’t believe that our way of life has gone from “let’s do it” to “maybe one day we can do it”. It’s just unbe­lie­vable. Will we ever get out of this impasse? Will those in power repeat the mis­takes of their pre­de­ces­sors? How tense will we get before we per­ma­nent­ly lose our know­ledge? Can the future be saved in a socie­ty where the fear of excom­mu­ni­ca­tion is worse than hell, where a life of tor­ture is bet­ter than imme­diate death?

Hap­py New Year.
