WELL, AT LEAST THE CRIMINALS HAVE IT RIGHT!

I’ve posted numerous times about my opinion that COVID-19 is not so much the disaster as the match that lit the fuse, the “real” problem being our outdated infrastructure, whether it be business, politics, ethics, transportation, education, health care — you name it. Critically re-examining and updating our local and national infrastructure is sorely overdue, and, I believe what we’re experiencing as “COVID-19 blues” is actually the result of outdated infrastructure. Take, for example one base infrastructure concept of business: the need to concentrate people at specific “working” and “selling” locations. Criminals at least have begun to understand the need for a different approach (“The pandemic has changed how criminals hide their cash“). And understand and implement they have and are.

The need for a different approach to criminality isn’t new. It’s been slowly evolving for eons. What’s new is crime’s awareness of the need for a new criminal infrastructure and the willingness to change and satisfy that need. While many today continue to “hunker down,” awaiting a vaccine that will return the world back to what it was before COVID, other’s realize that that world’s infrastructure was already crying out for change. Will the world return to its former state? Can one lose one’s innocence and then return back? I don’t think so. And neither do the characters in my newly released SCI-FU (science-based futuring) novel THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor. Intrigued? Want to know more about what it means to update our infrastructure and loathe to ask Bernie Sanders? Take a walk to the edge of madness and peer just beyond…
