Here today, gone tomorrow may have a more immediate effect, but the only thing that is interesting is that which is lasting. One has to adapt, keep up. But the vision has to be a long-term one. Embracing all that is new for the sake of its newness serves little purpose. I haven't found much that suggests or points to what will come.
People trumpet the revolution, but they're all hidebound.
So I'm looking back, over the year and years, the century, the millennium. More specific, and more trivial. Oh, it'll be years before I can make that judgement. Have to wait for the dust to settle. Have to wait to get a better sense of whether there is anything lasting to the books that might come into question.
