The very word ‘normal’ has become kind of useless, and the idea of ‘business as usual’ is becoming laughable, as well.

Just ask AirBnB, Uber or Carnival Cruises, or any airline CEO, event organiser, restaurant owner or... futurist!

"The best prophet, Thomas Hobbes once wrote, is the best guesser. That would seem to be the last word on our capacity to predict the future: We can’t. But it is a truth humans have never been able to accept. People facing immediate danger want to hear an authoritative voice they can draw assurance from; they want to be told what will occur, how they should prepare, and that all will be well. We are not well designed, it seems, to live in uncertainty. Rousseau exaggerated only slightly when he said that when things are truly important, we prefer to be wrong than to believe nothing at all"
