When the World Hit Pause
In March 2020, something extraordinary happened: the entire planet stopped moving at once. Factories went silent, airports emptied, city streets became ghost towns. For the first time in modern history, humanity experienced a synchronized crisis-not a war confined to certain regions, not a financial collapse affecting primarily the wealthy, but a pandemic that reached into every home, every community, every nation simultaneously. This wasn't just another emergency to weather and forget. COVID-19 compressed a decade of transformation into a few chaotic months, forcing questions we'd been avoiding: What kind of world do we actually want? What really matters? And can we afford to return to "normal" when normal was already broken?
