I suspect it has something to do with the decline of the aristocracy. Also, a general modern sentiment that we come from nowhere, have no history, our lives are a blank canvas. In other words, people don't really care where they came from or about passing anything on.
The sporadic "waking up" of everyone individually is an interesting way of looking at it. It hints that it's less about educating the public and more about people finding/experiencing reality in their own way.
"It is soul-stealing and debilliating to embrace the notion of social distancing & economic hibernation. In the absolutely worse case, the overall life expectancy worldwide would click down by a few weeks. Instead of 79.60 years to live we would have 79.45 years to live. 1 out of 500 people will pass on a bit sooner, or not, or die from a celebrated disease instead of just old age. This is no reason to surrender everything we hold dear and everything our parents fought for. Previous generations made extreme, heartbreaking sacrifices to create a better world for all of us. We owe them something. We should continue to do our work, serve our customers, educate our children, cultivate our health, pursue our hobbies, worship our gods, enjoy our sports, cherish our friends, listen to our music, eat, drink, & be merry. Live your life."
Right, I tried to keep the tone from being polemical or takey. "Get back to the earth, get local, technology sucks," is always a rich take from those who make a living on these platforms. At least grapple with the contradiction.

That's old school. We had one stern elderly nun at my high school, who I think was the last of that era (may she rest in peace). I hear stories though.
