This is the part that frustrates me the most. People are letting marketing engineers control the narrative in order to save their bubble, yet regulation is desperately needed. There's nothing "inevitable" about this flavor of "progress" unless we allow it as a society.

The storm was a tragedy in so many ways, but I found myself super fascinated by how fast animals came in to the ruined area since their own food and shelter was gone from the storm. Definitely a strange and unique time.

(I'm against this hunt to be clear lol, just sharing an anecdote)

St Joe speed-ran this process when Michael hit. Instead of the slow move in of bears as their habitat got developed over, the storm wiped out both human and animal habitation alike. This led the bears to move in.

It was fascinating; my family down there experienced a ton of bears very quickly. 1/2

Not that we aren't in the backlash part already, to be clear, I'm just definitely curious to see which direction the culture will go.

The puritanical online trend has lived way past its life span thanks to so many factors. It's awful.

I wonder if it will finally fade as a counter culture cyclicly rises, or maybe it will go even further with the insane legislation and stuff going on? Spooky and unclear times ahead for sure.
