Paul Graham put this out on Twitter earlier today, and I came here to talk about it. I think YC News discussion is usually better than Twitter.

I think the article is pretty good, but she does paint with a broad brush. One example is this, which I’m not sure is well-balanced:

It is unserious to prioritize the old over the young, to shut down public schools for two years in the name of safety, sacrificing the needs of children for the neuroses of adults. Twenty years of educational gains and investment in schooling were “wiped out” by Covid policies, according to the United Nations[1]. This is the real, lasting effect of long Covid.

I don’t see school shutdowns, especially pre-vaccine, as simply the result of neuroses of adults. The schedule could be debated, but I think it’s unserious to make simplistic statements about a complex, and dangerous, situation.
