It's hard to say. Given what we've seen happen in the world over the last 5+ years, I'd say that literally nothing surprises me anymore...

Do I want it to happen? Of course not. But to say it's "impossible" that is usually just the language of people that don't want it to happen, which is a subtle but important distinction. In todays world I try to stay away from extreme words like "never, always, impossible, etc." The number of FTers that were just stunningly, blatantly wrong on their very various "Covid era" predictions all along the way should have a provided a bit of a humbling effect (though anonymous people on the Internet rarely seem to be humbled...)
