I was confused by the term, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_treadmill but it refers to the concept of humans basically adapting to anything and that the "new normal" can be an Overton Window away or more.

Couple in some Corn Pone Opinions (Twain) and constantly moving the Goal Posts (fallacy) or making grand proclamations without any evidence, even all of that is proof that we are living in interesting times.

Not to be a fence sitter, but things are moving so quickly that it is impossible to make predictions in anything but the current level of chaos. Anyone who makes predictions right now is suspect.
