Most ppl know me for work in science & policy, but in college, my other major was classical #history & literature.

I view the present moment through this lens, understanding that the world map has always been dynamic. Borders shift, empires rise and fall, societies transform.

Only by studying the humanities - the disciplines so many ppl in power now regularly dismiss - can we hope to learn from the past & chart a more hopeful future.

@Sheril Humanities, yes. Social science, of course. And do not forget #systemdynamics. You know Donella and Dennis Meadows, the #limitstogrowth, the Club of Rome and all that. We have been warned what is coming long ago. I believe the orange guy in the White House is only a symptom of a deeper problem. Capitalism has hit the limits to growth. Trump is the poor man's image of a rich guy, and deep down he knows it. Maybe one reason why he despises his MAGA crowd.
