How much of that is modern tech and social media? I'd argue the Gen Z xoome meeting blank stare can be blamed as much on tech as the pandemic. This is the first generation that grew up living as much online as they do in the "real world"

Idk about that. The internet was already heavily adopted by the mid-00s. Millennials are as online as any generation after them. Hell, the Boomers are the most terminally online. Facebook hit the Olds like crack hit the inner cities.
GenZ might be the first generation that's self-aware enough to notice how fucked it all is. They're the ones gagging on the excess of social media and AI slop, which older generations seem to be swallowing placidly.

Yeah, we got labeled essential by general Mills even though we hadn't sold them any equipment in 4 years.
Yeah anything to keep us from getting that sweet time off.

Here people thought they can't go out to parks or nature even though that was never forbidden. I think American cultural wars played into that
The number of people who took their masks off indoors and put them on outside made my goddamn BRAIN melt, and led to one of my larger despair-induced mental health breakdowns.
I knew it was bad, I knew a lot of people were kind of ignorant... but I had no idea it was THAT bad, I even got alienated from some family groups because I tried to explain germ theory and they said I sounded too hyped up on politics or something to that effect.

"yeah mom... who said I wanted to go out tonight? I want to play video games with my friends all weekend. like I do every weekend" ~ probably the response.
You're missing something about hanging out with my AI girlfriend while playing whatever takes the place of fortnite.

No, that's 'do you wanna invent the torment nexus? It's optimal to invent the torment nexus. You don't have to, of course. Some of your people will be upset and have psychotic breaks if you do. But it's right there on the tech tree, and you have all the resources youd need, aside from meat-and oh look, you're being raided because the neighbiring tribe heard you were researching torment nexuses, raided by meaty meaty baseline humans....' Not 'do not invent the torment nexus'.
