Three years in, three years rarely won and mostly lost, the world feels worse than ever. Facing a singular crisis allowed the world to rally towards a common enemy and a common existential prerogative despite a minority of dissidents, here and there, now and then.

Back to the mundane: Work-from-home debates still rage on; wars of all sorts rage on; economic stagnation and uncertainty rage on; political strife and idiocy rages on; rich getting richer rages on; poor getting poorer rages on; some saying the world has been way better of historic rages; a lot saying everyday is doom rages on; artificial intelligence reduced to solving laziness and lack of perspective and creativity rages on; and rage, rage, and rage.
