There was a study done....by Understanding America.....roughly 7,000 folks who were checked out (over the age of 18). This is what you'd call a personality test.
So they looked at five things....neuroticism (how you handle stress), extroversion (your ability to work or socialize with folks), thinking (more so to your creativeness), how agreeable you are in trusting people, and conscientiousness (which means your ability to be responsible).
People change and evolve....on a routine basis, and this is a known fact.
So what they discovered here was that in a two-year period (the Covid era).....people evolved in a critical way.....at a quicker pace. What you would have done in ten years.....you did in two years.
Between the complex closed-off society we lived in.....the amount of BS we put up with.....growth of skepticism....and general view of stress (being limited on how to handle it)....we've developed a problem.
The thing that I'm curious in.....will this trend continue (at the same pace) and just how bad will things be in ten years?
