    For me its like…

    Before 9/11, world normal, people mostly sane, adults around, maturity.

    After 9/11, some portal must have opened, world completely nuts, insane leaders, no adults in the room. Probably going towards big war again because of human madness.

      The truth is even sadder. All of this insanity existed, it was just hidden from public view. Everything feels worse because we know now how things have been all this time.

        Yeah I think a lot of questions like “what happened?” revolves around the internet and the ability to find information that hasn’t been filtered by government, news media or companies.

        There’s positives for sure but it definitely shook up the status quo and we could see how messy and chaotic things were/are under the hood of society

        Ive been considering this too. Evil is at the top of the world, since those people gets drawn to power and influence.
