Collective Stupidity? (Easing of Lockdown Restrictions in Australia)
Channel: Daily Insight
Date: 11/05/2020

This is not really a misanthropic rant, but it does talk about the psychology of people. The Australian Government recently laid out a roadmap to “gradually” ease the lockdown restrictions. In Queensland at least, Stage 1 of the easing didn’t start until 16 May 2020. So what did people do in the interim? They went out shopping of course! The shopping centres were crammed full of people. I’m guilty, too. Me, and almost everyone I know, did exactly the same thing. Are we collectively stupid, or just absolutely sick of being in lockdown? Time will tell I suppose. Personally, as a guy who doesn’t like large crowds (some might call me a misanthrope… I call myself a “hidden” misanthrope), I can’t think of anything much worse than being stuck in a crowded shopping centre. However, somehow I push past my misanthropic ways and do things I don’t really want to do (usually because of my family).
