"The critic Raymond Williams once wrote that every historical period has its own '[ structure of feeling ]( [link removed] ),' '' [ writes Kim Stanley Robinson ]( [link removed] ). "These 'structures of feeling' are ever evolving, slowly. But sometimes a big event will spark a toneshift."

"Coronavirus is, for us, right now, that big event. The virus is rewriting our imaginations.

"In many ways, we’ve been overdue for such a shift. In our feelings, we’ve been lagging behind the times in which we live. The Anthropocene, the Great Acceleration, the age of climate change — whatever you want to call it, we’ve been out of synch with the biosphere, wasting our children’s hopes for a normal life, burning our ecological capital as if it were disposable income, wrecking our one and only home in ways that soon will be beyond our descendants’ ability to repair.

"And yet we’ve been acting as though it were 2000, or 1990 — as though the neoliberal arrangements built back then still made sense. We’ve been paralyzed, living in the world without feeling it."

Our century will be a time of monumental ideological clashes, paradigm shifts and metamemetic insurgencies. Before it's too late, can we invent a new [ structure of feeling ]( [link removed] ), cultivate new sensibilities for our post-materialist age . . . come up with [ new ways to live, love and think ]( [link removed] )?
