It might be worthwhile to list statements about present-day society that would have seemed incredible to me at various times in the past. For example:
That nobody has been to the moon since 1972.
That the Soviet Union no longer exists and there has been no nuclear war. (One or the other would have been plausible but not both.)
That we’re still using fossil fuels on a large scale.
President Ronald Reagan.
That there is a major communications network that is not run by any single organization.
That there would be a high-quality computer operating system based on free software.
“1. That nobody has been to the moon since 1972.”
Wow. I never realized it’d been that long—I grew up with that as part of my history, and never realized that it all occurred before I was born.
“President Ronald Reagan.”
President Donald Trump
