Interesting thread, and I& #39;m glad to have read it.
My take is exactly the opposite: I have ALWAYS expected a pandemic. I have ALWAYS expected a nuclear war.
Maybe bc I& #39;m pretty far out on "the spectrum", but to understand a thing is to appreciate its historic inevitability https://twitter.com/JeffLadish/status/1308163740219523073">https://twitter.com/JeffLadis...

As a teen I saw that the runways of LaGuardia, etc were near the highway, and marveled at how easy to would be to put a mortar in a minivan and blow up full loaded planes on the ground.
I drove through the Lincoln tunnel and imagined a Ryder truck full of explosives.

9/11 didn& #39;t surprise me at all - I& #39;d thought of exactly that scenario and was - if anything - surprised it hadn& #39;t happened much earlier.
I& #39;d always expected another Black Death, and The Coming Plague (1996) gave me all the details. https://www.amazon.com/Coming-Plague-Emerging-Diseases-Balance/dp/0140250913">https://www.amazon.com/Coming-Pl...

The "unthinkable" is not just thinkable. It& #39;s inevitable.
There will be plagues far worse than this one.
There will be nuclear war.
The US will end, likely in civil war.
A million monkeys on a million typewriters eventually write every book in Borges& #39; library.
