Strangely, I think she hit the nail on the head.

Plus, total abandonment of any sense that we belong to something bigger. Loss of faith—not just in religion, but in all social bonds. No sense that there’s anything binding us, that we even share the same values. Forget loving our neighbour, we can’t even make eye contact with them. Nothing holds us together anymore. We are alone.

Everything she complains there about is again related to “Covid Moral Lesson II”: “What makes relationships possible is that we set the right expectations, and that we trust ourselves and others to honour them. These expectations set the parameters for acceptable behaviour, and keep us responsive and responsible to each other. It is precisely these expectations that the COVID narrative demanded we breach.”

Wonderful article, very insightful. Thank you for sharing.

Mostly it makes me wonder what will become of humans in a few decades (or more) given that we fail younger generations so much.

Get me on the housing ladder, great, but how does that help if I have no idea what healthy love looks like? If I don’t trust anyone will stay? Better to pretend that Gen Z just need new policies, to get on government schemes, to tax the rich, than accept that what many young people need, more than anything, is an apology.

She really had me until this paragraph.
