@marla singer Fear is healthy. Fear can motivate change. Fear can be controlled and reasoned with. Panic is uncontrollable, Unreasonable fear. And is usually destructive to the person experiencing it. Fear will cause you to leave a burning building. Panic will cause a stampede that will kill more people than the fire itself. Fear can drive you to try. Panic stops you from thinking.

Add in the fear of Covid and the way we get our global news so instantly now, in some ways, it really is the worst for our psyches. We're being bombarded with distressing info everywhere we turn and to say "The worst year ever!" is hyperbole for sure, to us en masse around the world, it really can FEEL like this is about as bad as it could get.

As a biologist, I think that this "worst lead to something better" principle also applies to some aspects of evolution. For example, we contain ancient "viruses" in our DNA (called transposons) which have inserted themselves millions of years ago. Although these transposons have and still can mess up our DNA by breaking chromosomes and destroying genes they also gave us additional DNA sequences which were used to drive evolution (I just made a video about that). Without these ancient "viruses" for example we would have not able to make placentas meaning that dogs, cats or us could not exist today. Interesting principle I think!

The underlying point of this video is: history shows that every time there was a downturn or a catastrophe, things eventually turned better. I know this is what people want to hear now but that is the real issue: using history for propaganda. There is no evidence that things will be so much better as soon as the pandemic is over, and a real overcoming of the pandemic may require a complete revolution in our ways of living (not necessarily a bad thing).

That means people who put money into SS, unlike the first generation, won't see a dime for their efforts. Did you know FDR had the government pay farmers to not produce anything? That resulted in increased food prices, during the great depression of all times, and of course also cost the jobs of many farm hands and migrant workers. His tax hikes, price fixing, and labor laws also bankrupted numerous businesses, and also stiffled investment in private enterprise.

Because it really was 🤷‍♂️

Current Era: Dumb & Selfish. I'd like to think that we'll finally come out of it where greedy, self indulgent and ignorant behavior is actually not acceptable in society.

[@melissarivard7238]

I’m actually having the worst period ever right now.

HEY. ON TIMELINE can you please do the 1970s 1990s and 2000s? Edit: I think that's your best series.

This 13 minutes helped me more than my hourly zoom therapy.

[@herideahomestead]

I agree. It helps to remember people have lived through worse and came out better.

[@michaelwahl7810]

I imagine the worst periods in history probably ended with Tampax and a few Tylenol.

[@kyradent295]

I just hope the next era isn’t orange🤷🏽‍♀️ (pls no hate, we all deserve our own opinions)

[@1pcfred]

You are not entitled to your own facts though.

[@kyradent295]

@@1pcfred opinions should be based off of facts, not feelings. The 225,000 people dead for instance? That’s fact.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if the coronavirus pandemic made the United States adopt Universal Healthcare, like the Spanish Flu did for Europe?? That is one good thing that could come out of this disaster.

[@richardsawyer5428]

The UK NHS is largely born of the Miner's Welfare Societies, in particular the one in Tredegar, South Wakes, home of the great Nye Bevan. It always intrigues me as to why US miners didn't evolve a similar system into a state or federal model.

This is the title of the biography Im writing about my ex girlfriend.

[@thexxit]

We can only hope that this age of willful ignorance and destruction turns around into a trust in facts once again.

[@Zero-ti6rf]

Knew it was time

[@mats7492]

I think there will be parties and concerts literally every day after this ends.. you won’t even know what do do with so many options..

[@alanhyt79]

People are hurting financially. Selling tickets won't be easy at first.
