Progress Rant: Cycle 15 "we barely knew ye"
In this heyday of cycle 16's growth in our cycle, we have fallen somewhat short of recognizing cycle 15 and their accomplishments, past, present and to come,
It is perhaps the most difficult thing one can do to go through icstars* to a place of ambiguity. A place where folk may not know what is coming next.
But one thing is certain, whatever does come next is and will be a challenge. To that end, I wish all of cycle 15 peace and resilience through this next phase of growing pains. And I look forward to seeing all of you making the best of the armament icstars has given you.
Take the next few years as your launching pad to set yourself up, so that you may make opportunities for others.
All the best,
cycle 16
