Peter Turchin, who is an expert in historical instability, predicted in 2010 that the United States would experience a period of political instability starting around 2020. His analysis identified economic inequality, elite overproduction, and rising public debt as key factors. Turchin's prediction appears to have come true, as the U.S. has seen escalating protests and the deployment of National Guard troops in response to immigration raids and other issues.

Liquid Glass feels like that earliest reveal of Aqua — flashy, and completely over the top and needing twelve months of refinement and public feedback to get the balance quite right.
