I'd pay serious money to jump 30 years into the future just to read what historians will write about our current time.
Not for investment tips or anything practical - just to satisfy my curiosity about how this bizarre period will be analyzed and understood.
- hayst4ck 1y agoWhen everyone feels this way instead of fighting for the future they want to make reality... There are journalists, protestors, entrepreneurs, unionists, billionaires, etc, all fighting for what those history books will say. Ukrainians are fighting for what they will say right now. I think a better question is what do you want them to say. Do you want them to say tyranny triumphed un-resisted?

- BonoboIO 1y agoTrue. And … if there is a future at all.
