Professor De Smet suggests that many people do not wish to return to the "old normal" of unfulfilling jobs and high debt, which explains the resonance of "Build Back Better" slogans. This shift is also linked to the current labor shortages in the UK, where workers are opting out of highly regulated, low-satisfaction occupations.

The analysis suggests that the wearing of masks serves as a psychological tool for the suppression of ego and the death of old identity to facilitate a new one.
