    The internet as a whole got sadder / meaner / more unruly when COVID happened. I was on reddit a lot at the time and noticed it immediately.

    It’s still like that, but I hope we find a way forward.

      I’m of the opinion that the two years COVID driven existential fear and uncertainty around death, of both ourselves and our loved ones, is a global impact that will ripple through behavior for many years. We monkeys all act out our traumas. That’s okay, it’s part of the healing process and will eventually become a fading memory replaced by better ones, births, new relationships, triumphs and laughter.
