"Why does it feel different this time?' [View all]

This content creator's name is Nicole Rudolph and she doesn't come across as particularly "hard hitting". Some of her insights do hit home for me at times, though.

She describes history as a rock bouncing downhill in its trajectory. We can manage a few accurate predictions about its path, but it is hardly guidable by those in power who think that they control the world.

Now, do you find Rudolph comforting in her perspectives? Is she irritating because she isn't alarmed enough? Is she infuriating because she, herself, is seated in a comfortable position pleasantly discussing a world where not very pleasant things are happening and it all seems so out of control?

Tell me what you think.
