Seeing lots of calls for “sensemaking” rn. But I’m wondering what doesn’t make sense to people? Pandemics feel weird on social media? US healthcare is shit? Governments can interfere with lives of citizens? Trump re-elected? None of this is new, right?
Ok but inasmuch as the sensemakers are already talking about these crises, does the outbreak of a virus change things much?

I feel like this particular event is highlighting a disjuncture between understanding and meaning - one characteristic of a metacrisis. Maybe it's no longer enough to expect a plausible interpretation of a narrative to emerge organically, even though we understand the facts.
