It saddens me to know that there are people so crippled with anxiety that they live their lives online. One of the things COVID took from us is a sense of communal living, where people did stuff together and that was fun. It used to be a deep human need. Now a generation gets anxiety thinking about engaging in it.

Covid didn't take anything, these people - the adults anyway - gave that stuff away by complying with the cruel insanity of lockdowns.
The response to covid was one of the most successful divide and conquer campaigns in human history.
