I've been thinking about a follow-up based on some recent experiences, so you may have just prompted it.

The foresight of Davies is impressive!

Wild times ahead.

I feel all I'm able to do is sit here on the sidelines of world affairs with my hand glued to my forehead 🤦‍♀️.

Another intriguing essay, Alan, thank you! And from what I am observing, especially in political debates these days, I am afraid I cannot but agree to your thoughts! - although, yes, obviously one would hope that your conclusion isn't prophetic :( A follow-up to this one, as you mentioned in one comment, would be highly appreciated!
