Your paradox sounds like a resurrection of nuance. Nuance, once beloved by many, had a rough 2020 and I feared it dead. Living a fully open or locked down existence with Covid was the easiest decision making. We’ve been pulling from both: my wife is working, my kids are in school, but pre-vaccine we met friends & family mostly outside and didn’t eat in restaurants. Explaining to my kids (and myself) why swimming outside for hours with a friend was OK, but a sleepover was challenging.

As to nuance’s demise, I’d point to an author I’ve listened to but haven’t read yet - Rutger Bregman. He says (& I agree) cooperation is humans’ superpower. One of us alone isn’t much, but millions working towards a goal, and we’re one of the most powerful forces. When nuance isn’t looked at individually, but is a mix of some people being very careful, and others showing no care, we aren’t cooperating, but working against each other..
