The COVID 19 pandemic was a world-disrupting and world-changing event comparable to World War II. It is sending shockwaves through all areas of civilization that are still reverberating, and people are largely misinterpreting a lot of what is happening in our world today.
Much of what is going on right now is still just the reverberating shockwaves of that major geopolitical event, but there isn't enough awareness of this. If things happening now were better understood within the context of the pandemic and the very significant challenges we faced then, people would not be so caught up in the moment.
