For me it was the fastest. The pandemic felt like 2 years gone by in a blink and suddenly it was 2022 already.
For me its like..
Before 9/11, world normal, people mostly sane, adults around, maturity.
After 9/11, some portal must have opened, world completely nuts, insane leaders, no adults in the room. Probably going towards big war again because of human madness.
The truth is even sadder. All of this insanity existed, it was just hidden from public view. Everything feels worse because we know now how things have been all this time.
Yeah I think a lot of questions like "what happened?" revolves around the internet and the ability to find information that hasn't been filtered by government, news media or companies.
There's positives for sure but it definitely shook up the status quo and we could see how messy and chaotic things were/are under the hood of society
Ive been considering this too. Evil is at the top of the world, since those people gets drawn to power and influence.
Tell you what, being locked down and barely able to socialise outside of immediate family for months on end does a lot to mess with your perception of time
I would love to see a chart like this but for hippies who grew up in the 1960s.
2016 did end two years ago but it also lasted 10 years
Fuck that's way too real for me rn.
Related: I'm still running Ubuntu 20.04 (released April 2020) on my desktop. I can't easily update to a new major version because of some technical issues I won't get into right now, but it seems on topic. I'm basically frozen in time in terms of technology.
Same goes for early gen z
