Whatever little of the next generation there may be, we can’t expect many of them to be anything like us.

I imagine we’d dissent from the dominant narrative of the future.

The next generation will likely clamor for their chains.

I think the Scamdemic was complete validation of "proof of concept" for how easily the public will accept centralized authoritarian control and the implementation of a bio-security surveillance state in exchange for safety (or some other perceived benefit).

It appears as though the public will walk down the stairs of Totalitarianism thinking there is a door at the bottom of the basement that provides comfort. A subtle decent whereby they give up increments of freedom/autonomy to only find the door at the bottom is a dark and foreboding room to bondage.

By then it's too late and they'll gladly accept the food the hand feeds them.
