The pandemic was a strange time in so many ways, but particularly in how the most joyless, least interesting, most anti-human people of all time nearly got de facto control of society. I’m of course talking about the people who wanted any form of fun or travel closed down forever.

I really did have no idea there were so many of them. I don’t understand them at all; I have as much in common with them as I do a tree sloth. Do these people truly enjoy sitting at home, doing nothing at all, for years? Is it just about power, i.e., if they can harm everyone else, they don’t care how much they harm themselves? I truly have no insight here.

I’m really interested in these people in an anthropological sense! I have no idea what motivates them (if there is a single motivation) or how they live their lives. I’m strongly introverted but I also enjoy going to restaurants, concerts, seeing sights, traveling, watching movies, even the occasional bar. These people…are just ok never doing any of that again? Don’t know how to think about that.
