Time goes away and the world with it.

'There is more day to dawn.'
Henry David Thoreau

I can think of very few moments in that memoir and museum we call Western Civilization that is so defining and differentiating as the moment we are now expecting in five years. In that moment, an experimental fusion power reactor will flash into life and a new world will be born.
Costly and difficult in its initial implementation, it will someday power the world and the hybrids the world will drive. I cannot imagine a more momentous occasion in the whole of that lore and lexicon that generates our institutions and values than when that reactor generates its first few kilowatts.
We are twenty years away from a coherent and comprehensive postmodernist model and twenty years away from a first generation of producing fusion power reactors. That is the kind of coincidence that is driven by inspiration and drives large events, such as a new world being born. We are so close to doing that that even a reclusive, provincial Southwestern writer can see it.
It is a huge moment.
Do well and be well.
