My archaeologist/historian mind has frequently had me wondering what it must have been like living through different transformative moments in history. Sat on the site of the Medieval hunting lodge close to Queen's Bower this morning it dawned on me that I'm getting the opportunity to actually live through one such moment in history, or to be more accurate, a clusterfuck of such moments. The escalating climate crisis, deepening global economic crisis, the rise of populism, and separatism, social decay and an increasing frequency of epidemics and pandemics; that's quite a menu of moments. It's through our own agency too, we've brought ourselves to this moment, all the seed problems we've planted are all blooming spectacularly at once, in real time. The question is, will we make it to become history, or are we writing the final chapter?
