It's complex. On one hand, some people feel emboldened to reveal their "true side". On the other hand, we realize the guardrails we thought protect society from illogical or immoral behavior... aren't really there.

From that point on we have a choice. Accept increasing chaos and corruption, or build up the missing guardrails we thought were there. However, from what I see, things aren't going strongly in the right direction as I see it, so far...

A civilization is born stoic and dies epicurean.
