If pressed to consider possible backdrops for the making of history, it's unlikely you, like me, would consider your couch a viable setting. I don't know about you, but, great world leaders do not frequent my home and make world-altering policy changes on my couch.
Wars aren't fought over my couch because of the likelihood that anyone wants a sofa with a carefully concealed wine-stain on it that badly is quite remote. And, unless I count the time I ate too much Chinese food and lay there groaning for six hours, massive natural calamities do not routinely take place on my couch either.
All in all, the potential to create world history on any of our couches is relatively low. Still, somehow, your butt on your couch, your chair, your floor, is currently an unprecedented moment in history. Confined to our homes, we're not just living through history, but actively creating it.
