I don't think you get a pass for treating people badly because of your hysteria. It's easy to be a good member of society in good times. It's when there is adversity that we are tested. Same as if someone yelled "fire" and you freaked out and pushed others out of the way to get outside first, you should have to live with your behavior, not just get to say "well, I thought there was a fire" and be forgiven. Hopefully people can take this as a lesson to try and keep there humanity when times get tough, but they should have to live with their behavior.

People might be a bit more willing to move on if you hadn't destroyed their careers, businesses, reputation ect... "Yeah, we got you fired. You were right, our bad. Sorry. Let's go get coffee and hug it out."

No. Let's not.

The level of contempt with which the Laptop Class treated everyone else will not soon be forgotten. These people will have to answer to a generation of kids they kept out of school for two years. On top of everything, they genuinely don’t think there was anything wrong with their behavior. We have seen how this class of pseudo-intellectual ideologues acts when times get tough. It’s not pretty and it isn’t going to be forgotten or forgiven by anyone, anytime soon.

I do feel like her ability to self-recognize her own mistakes is applaud worthy but really she's not asking for amnesty around. She's asking for forgiveness for herself. She's the one who went too far; she called for people to lose their jobs, etc. >I have been reflecting on this lack of knowledge thanks to a class I’m co-teaching at Brown University on COVID. But why did she lack knowledge? She is either in an echo chamber or she outright worked to silence those who were giving her the knowledge. She wants amnesty for her behaviour because the consequences are starting to show up. There will be no amnesty, there will be consequences.
