Aaron's Thoughts
Everyone’s brains broke in 2020.
It set the USA on a new trajectory. One you can argue we were already heading towards, but the extreme isolation did nothing but pour gasoline on the fire.
We lost the ability to feel empathy for others. We lost the ability to see others as human beings and not avatars on a screen. It changed the way young people make friends. It changed the way people get their news. We got really good at yelling at each other about our problems without trying to fix them.
While we spend all of our time arguing about things that don’t matter, we miss the big & obvious threats to our society. Threats that sink their teeth deeper into us every passing year. Threats that are so good at distracting us, making us hate one another, & spurring violence that we don’t even think to address the root of the problem.
I mean why care about a data center being built when the culture wars are right in front of you, right?
I have a hunch that this one is going to age extremely well decades from now.
