Late Silent John Lewis spoke up, stood up and made good trouble right to the end of his life. We can do no less.

I just don't see it at the crisis level yet.  Strides might be taken.  I see with crisis wars becoming more rare, awakenings will take on a greater role.  We'll see.

I agree.  If not for COVID, this Crisis era would not have lived up to former expectations - and that's not for lack of other pressing issues.  The pace of change is so fast now that concepts tend to be dealt-with immediately or they fall into the background noise.  Will that mean that 2Ts will now be the home to social and political change engines?  I guess we'll know soon enough.
