Perhaps the biggest reason we're living through what we're living through right now is because of COVID-19, because of the reaction of the governments of the world to this novel coronavirus.

It was one of the most formative, especially for this young generation.

Imagine being in high school,

and being sent home for a year or two years, or in some cases three years, because of a disease that did not affect you.

Demographically, you are unaffected.

And then learning over time how much of it was overreaction

that's generous how much of it was opportunistic uh and that's probably the the most true case and how much of it was downright cynical and a power grab by governments and i think that's probably true in some aspects of it but you take all of that together and and now tell people that conspiracy theories aren't real and well it's a losing argument because we just lived through you know one of the great conspiracies really in in human history

And, of course, we're going to be dealing with the damage of that overreach by governments for the rest of our lives.

It was a generationally consequential event.

I try to be very careful and guarded with my language.

I never want to say, because of the coronavirus or because of COVID-19, because, of course, none of these things are because of COVID-19.

They're all because of the reaction of governments and media organizations and the apparatus of popular culture, which are almost completely dominated by the left,

sees power, sees economic opportunity, and in some cases, just panic and overreact.

I mean, sometimes there is no, obviously, conspiracy except stupidity.

But I don't see how we, in the short term, easily overcome the psychological damage done to free people across the West by our governments in relation to COVID.

Yeah, super normal to lock children in their houses for three years.

Couldn't possibly be a consequence for taking people in the most socially formative years of their lives and putting them behind a computer where their only interaction with other human beings is digital interaction.

All going to work out fine.

Universities are a bad deal.

Six figures of debt for a bachelor's degree that signals less every year.
