I was discussing this with @selentelechia a month ago maybe, and she noticed it.
She's almost a decade younger and I think that makes a difference in this matter

The week Bear and Lehman went down, I did buy some extra supplies just in case things got dicey, but that passed pretty quickly. There was a kind of lights-going-out-all-over-Europe vibe to it, though. Probably we haven't really recovered.

I guess I keep returning to what I thought and who I was when I was trying to go to sleep on 1/1/00 trying to wrap my head around what in God's name could have gone so horribly awry that led us to This If Covid had hit instead of 9/11, would it be like this? I don't think so

I don't know. I don't know what I could have done differently. I don't know. Just feels bad, man. A whole beautiful future just pfffft.

I was 31 on 9/11 and I thought ater a while that we continued in a gross overreaction in some ways, epitomized by the Iraq war. I was pregnant and having babies 2001-03 and thought things were trending bad then (now is worse but I’m oddly less worried about the kids)

It was because things weren’t looking like they are coming apart. I am from an older generation but after the madness of 1968-1970. My first international memories were of national humiliation. Vietnam, Iran hostage, etc...pic.twitter.com/tToO0Z0pjt

This is a lot different from 9/11, because it seemed a steady progression of defeat we had earned, my mother was very left wing but very anti Soviet, she had grown up with DPs and then saw the Prague Spring end. As a kid I thought we were doomed to either defeat or nuclear warpic.twitter.com/5pZST35uaJ
