>>8550113>socialMass panic, to the point of near societal collapse. Sharp rise in mental illness and suicide. Existential terror weighing on every person like living with a loaded gun to the head, knowing that you, your family, your country, everything you know and love can vanish with no explanation, in an instant, to a fate more mysterious than death.
>political Closed boarders, martial law, near totalitarianism to maintain a semblance of a functioning nation. Cold war like paranoia. Strict rationing of resources.
>culturalThe loss of human life, history, relics, and customs would be staggering. A resurgence of religious fanaticism, nihilistic philosophy, a permanent scar on the soul of humanity.
>technologicalVirtually everything would be focused on explaining the phenomenon. Advances in physics and theoretical math, stuff like that. Maybe some environmental science stuff, manipulating the giant ocean to diffuse the massive global storms. Further advancement in agriculture and automation to compensate for the absence of cheap labor.
Sounds like hell.
