Another uncharacteristic philosophical post...
I don't really know how to go about writing this. It's a little awkward blogging about current events and my own feelings about them, but here goes anyway.
We are living through some strange and discomforting times - certainly like nothing I've ever experienced. A new virus that apparently escaped from a laboratory is stalking and killing the elderly and immune-compromised, and randomly killing even healthy people. Other people have decided that somehow it's now OK to throw Molotov cocktails at police. An acrimonious presidential election is about to take place, with no way to ensure that ballots are honestly counted. Whomever is declared the winner, the outcome will no doubt be bitterly contested - legally and in the streets. It's entirely possible that armed skirmishes will take place either before or following the election.
