It's likely going to turn out that Covid has fucked our brains in ways we don't understand yet. The before and after difference is too extreme to be caused by a collective trauma from 4 years ago. If that was really the problem, we would be over it by now and back to normal.

But that's not what this is. Time is going to work every day, going to church or hiking or playing frisbee on the weekends, playing DND every two weeks, having a big test every few months...that goes away, you don't have time anymore.

Are there any remote populations on the planet untouched by Covid? If so, a scientific study could possibly be carried out.

Well, there's Sentinel Island, but we keep people away from there for many, many good reasons
