Contrast that with how most people can barely remember the COVID pandemic. The most significant, anxiety-inducing event of the modern era, that lasted nearly 2 years? And people *don't remember it*? How does that make sense?

But it does, actually.

Basically, while the pandemic was *objectively* very significant, it was *subjectively* very dull. Same routine, same place, no standalone external events, for months on end?

Our brains lacked significant experiences to commit to memory, and thus log the passage of time.
