Big changes are coming. We’re not ready for them, we may not like them, and many of our most powerful institutions are actively but ineffectually resisting them, but the outcome could be wonderful.

History gives us some perspective. The Day Before the Renaissance. The only antidote for 100-days mania and 24-hour news cycles is to shift focus from the urgent to the important. “An epochal change is coming, a transformational tsunami is on the horizon, and most of our leaders and many of us have our backs to it. We’re looking in the wrong direction. Indeed, many of those in positions of power and their supporters are so actively trying to cling to the past we can almost hear their fingernails clawing at the earth as they try to avoid accepting the inevitable and momentous changes to come.” http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/05/01/the-day-before-the-renaissance/
