Between these two poles, in my view, we will see something of a New Wave: an orthogonal exploration that takes the newly opened spaces of aesthetic possibility, but moves in a direction that isn’t plainly red, blue, or even purple-coded (“enlightened centrism as a bit”). For relevant examples, I think of mags like Mars Review of Books or Sam Kahn & Ross Barkan’s upcoming project; outlets that seem to deliberately aim toward the syncretic. - Oops, in my pull quote restack commentary I should have finished the last para and that should have been in response to this. But either way, same outcome.

On a personal note, as I chew up a Mexican Xanax, I never in my life wanted to live in such interesting times, and the future I was promised had much better drugs in it.
