"History teaches us, again and again, that change does not mean progress, that metamorphosis does not mean improvement. When society dissolves, we ... dissolve right along with it." - the brilliant & unfailingly evocative @shamblanderson in the @nytimes - nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

What is a bad man but a good man's job?
if you don't understand this, you will get lost,
