Is Anyone Listening?

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the fragility, and brokenness in some cases, of our systems, institutions, infrastructure, and society. Now that the immediate crisis has passed, is there an expectation to revert to the status quo, instead of creating a better version of the world? Technology has been hailed a savior, but human beings being human, and the complexity and interconnectedness of our world makes for challenges in trying to maintain society as it was and in creating a new world. Navigating outrage, cries for help, and cultural divides has left us in a precarious position but there is opportunity to effect change, if we choose.
