Anyone else feel like the reason why humanity doesn’t bother to fix important issues for a long time is because the people simply don’t care enough to group up and fix them. I mean when I try to educate folks on complex problems they often seem like they don’t want to discuss it and quickly defend the status quo saying “that’s just how things are”

But we can’t keep ignoring these issues because then it could delay necessary progress for thousands of years.

    Covid broke our brains, literally.

    Do y’all notice how people seem to have gotten more aggressive after covid.

    Its like the Lead-Crime hypothesis, but Covid-Crime hypothesis

      The statistically low levels of crime we are currently experiencing do not support your hypothesis.

        Dude… We have a convicted felon and anti-constitution insurrectionist in the highest office of the US. Crime rate just went back up. Dont forget all the hate crimes he’ll inspire around the country. Murders might have gone down, but the many instances of racial harassment, that are most likely going to be unreported, will skyrocket. Police aren’t gonna make a report until you’ve been injured enough to end up in the hospital.
