    A legend dies this early on 2020. I'm not a pessimist, but 2020 sure looks bleak.

    People died every day and everything bad happened every day too. It's just that the internet had gone even faster and more news travelled further.

    Don't be too pessimistic, the world is relatively better than before, at least.

    Tru tru. But i'm not looking forward to 2020 not just due to a legend's death, but the seed of the problems we planted years ago are finally blooming. Climate change, how australia basically dug its own grave, the threat of ww3 looming over, etc.

    But yes, you're right, the world has become a better place for individuals.

    A fine man that continued a fine work, contributing his own mark. It is said that it's difficult to see where his and his father's genius met. RIP

    Nope. That's J RR Tolkien. Christopher was his son. He mostly dealt with preserving and the business aspects of his father's works.
