He's learned a lot about the social distancing benefits of being a model/human mannequin - from Melania perhaps. That is, having no responsibility for whatever is happening around him until he is directed in some way.

The future is not linear. It will not be glossy or slick. It will not be covered in lights.
It will not be purple, orange, and teal.
The future is unthinkable with the brains and concepts we hold today.
Train yourself now. Set yourself up for surprises several times every day. Break routines.

In the future, there might be academies that support citizen scientists. No academic affiliation required. Faculty/masters are generously paid with public funds, of course.
These academies are nodes in an ecological system that borrow and share their work, immediately successful/applicable or not.

Palantir? Lockheed Martin? Elon?

This post + comments are a Futurist's gold mine.
the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.
