The era, not the “virus”

Our world is so incredibly different than it was before.

A real trajectory changer for everyone and no one seems to notice much

connect the wfh dude above with people being glued to screens

its the same shit. And while screening was a significant part of life before covid, covid didnt just kick the door down, it bulldozed the entire structure.

Before covid, internet screens were more like TV. Some people watched 8 hours a day, some avoided religiously. There was some moral shame, some medical instructions against, "bad for kids", etc.

Covid not only erased all of that, it turned 180* and sped 100 miles the other direction. People were ORDERED to live on screens. Kids were planted in front of screens under threat of parental arrest for truancy if the kid was off the screen.

Young people's relationship with "work", or how we spent the vast majority of are lives between 25 and 70, became inextricably tied to "how much of this can I do all alone with my screen".

Bars, events, thing-doing, mating, dating, etc etc, all went through the COVID filter to come out completely different.

I can see an argument that all of this was in the works, but its like "that old house will burn down some day" vs. "we are dousing it in accelerant and everyone must drop a match"

the issue was that kids were effectively kicked out of schools for two years, but parents still had to work. This problem was especially exacerbated by the fact that a significant portion of the population has moved away from their hometowns, consequently their inherent support networks (e.g. parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles). So now these parents had to do something with the kids while their boss is yelling at them to get on the zoom call or to come into the office, so they chose the screen for the kids.

It also completely destroyed normie trust in the government, institutions, Science, experts, law, etc

Imo this was the bigger development than the social consequences you mentioned. "Covid" pretty much totally nuked society's trust in the broad "elite" for absolutely everyone other than a certain segment of urbanite shitlib white boomers

In a sick way, it was actually A Good Thing because of this. The kids under ~24 who went through covid are overwhelmingly "conservative" now compared to the zoomers who are 24-30 solely because of what happened during covid. In the long run I think that the fiasco may have saved the world

yeah this line of argument is a lot stronger I think, although I'd argue that normie trust in government was already reduced to trivial levels depending on "is my guy in power" and you're overestimating the degree to which zoomers are conservative when in reality they're more just total chaos communists

that is a wild concept. The actors get entirely replaced every 70 years or so. Sort of wild humans maintained "civilization" by parent-child instruction alone. That system seemed to work, like all others, via carrot and stick. Boomers decided not to give away any carrots though, which means subsequent gens really have no interest in maintaining civ, apart from avoiding the stick. "I'll play along to made-up rules so as not to become homeless, but I believe in none of them and will break them at first chance."

we are in for some changes
