Anybody else feel like there're just ... too many active plotlines?
It is/isn't the Singularity while we are going and not going into WW III, while Rama is maybe zooming by, while Modern Rome does the whole fall of the Republic nonsense, or maybe doesn't! While the H5N1 thing is still churning away reassorting in pigs!
I appreciate what you're trying to say here, but this was more an infovore glorying in how weird everything is than someone who has too much screen time (I don't, in fact, even use a screen.)
But also sometimes monitoring the world is useful. I'm very glad I was paying attention in February 2020, for instance!

Narrative superposition is exhausting.
