Episode Twenty-Seven: ”Is this Pandemic a Time Machine?”

This week, Brendan brings his question to bear with Andy, positing a theory that this Pandemic offers us a glimpse into the multiverse and tells us with stunning accuracy how we would have behaved in, say, Germany in the 1930s... or in Northern California in 1942... or Mississippi in 1955

OR... OR...

 

In what ways did we fail to live up to our own code of ethics these past three years and what ways did we succeed? And who would that have made us in the past? Did we just brush by the Other pleading for entry on our way to breakfast at the segregated diner? Did we loudly jeer anyone seeking to violate the impositions of the State against the freedom of select groups? Did we speak up, fight for those society turned on to indict, bully & eventually reject from public life, under threat of force? 

Is this a fair thesis? What can we learn from this? How can we grow?

What did YOUR time travel look like?
