“If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.” (Albert Einstein)
In 2020, we saw that conventional approaches were often no longer viable when facing entirely unexpected challenges. So we learned to deal with things differently and redesign our everyday life. It wasn’t easy, but it worked because we focused on what it ultimately all boils down to: sticking together. That experience is what we should carry with us into the new year.
There is absolutely no proof, by the way, that Einstein ever pronounced those widely-quoted words. The fake news trend is one we should definitely leave behind us.
