He just doesn't acknowledge it, doesn't talk about it. He says, yeah, it's probably the pandemic, but also we're not going to talk about why people wouldn't trust their institutions after COVID-19.

Here's what the author writes. One cross-country analysis published by the Systemic Risk Center at the London School of Economics found that people who experience epidemics between the ages of 18 and 25 have less confidence in their scientific and political leadership.

It's like, yeah, we heard that pandemics can have this effect on people, but then they don't talk about, well, why would it have that effect on people? It's like, look what just happened. But there's no acknowledgement of that in the article. And I think this is actually the same issue with artificial intelligence.

We are witnessing a deep moral and spiritual crisis and awakening of the people who are recognizing the crisis.
