"I think we’re probably going to be embarrassed by the pandemic, every kind of reaction to it and the way it’s sort of defined our time."
"To me, it’s already sort of becoming an embarrassing topic, and you can feel people not wanting to talk about it.... I feel embarrassed about being a little irrational about certain topics and the politicization of every single thing that happened in that whole time period, where how people handled their own health was a political topic. And that just doesn’t make rational sense. Also, how every single thing in our lives — even what music we listen to and what art we see — you have to align yourself with a certain political agenda. I think that will eventually feel embarrassing, or it’ll hopefully turn into something else, because I feel like there’s no end to that thought process. It makes people go a little crazy and become conspiracy theorists or just totally isolated from all of their friends."Writes the essayist/novelist Natasha Stagg, one of many contributors to "Future Cringe/One day we’ll look back on this moment and wonder: What were we thinking?" (NYT).
I love the big question, what are we doing now that we are going to be embarrassed/ashamed of in the future? I noticed this question when I was a child and heard things said about people in the past, as if those people were benighted and ridiculous. We are those people to people somewhere out there in the future. How can I avoid being looked at by them the way people today are looking at the people of the past?
One answer is to be more charitable to the people of the past. Realize that some day you'll be in their position, and don't you want those future people to be charitable toward you? Embarrassment is over-worried about. Maybe those people in the future are looking back at us and laughing about how prudish and uptight we were to think of them feeling embarrassed about us. That is, one day we'll look back and be embarrassed the we were embarrassed.
Paradoxically, the avoidance of embarrassment that the most embarrassing thing of all. Worrying that you will cringe is unnecessary pre-cringing.
As I've said, I've thought about this question since I was a child. I was, I think, too influenced by the vision of "Future Me" feeling embarrassed about whatever it was I was considering doing now. But I agree with the writer, Natasha Stagg, that we ought to get some perspective on our narrow-minded irrationality, and I don't think I'm being inconsistent. I'm for individuality and freedom.
