Hi Matt, huge fan of your work. I had the pleasure of re-reading The Rational Optimist last week. Do think that the poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic by liberal states is a cause for concern for a rational optimist? Essentially, are you concerned that an unpredictable or unlikely global catastrophic event could halt or even reverse the progress of the human colossus after seeing the incompetence of the COVID-19 response?
