    You mean just like how we learned about the 1920 pandemic?

    Oh right, no we didn’t. It was a footnote at best.

    Our current lives really aren’t all that special you know.

        That’s because you’re alive right now. Obviously the events you experience yourself seem weightier than the events you’ve only read about.

          Not in the same way.

          You could maybe argue atom bombs and cold war was a similar time for such crucial moments in humanity, but now we also got climate change, another rise in fascism, and we got tons of nukes on top. And plenty of other things which I won’t bother to delve into because I should sleep.
