Thought Experiment (or maybe a puzzle)
(I believe this very thing happened in Texas recently) Suppose your society has had what may be the driest year on record (with all the negative consequences that relate). If it is dry until Jan. 1, it will be a new record. It is Dec. 31. Do you hope it rains today?
Perhaps your answer speaks to the impossibility of a(n?) utopia? Or (and?) our preference for that which is not embodied?
