I think a lot of it is overload from the Internet. Our brains are simply not designed to handle the unfathomably immense, endless torrent of information.
It happened on a much smaller scale before, the common trope of younger people being more idealistic and it generally fading away as the years go by. But now that progression is happening at hyper speed, and it’s getting faster daily.
This isn’t fuvking passive. This is actively cultivated by the fuckers who control the algorithms, because it makes it easier to turn us against our own interests so we can be exploited.
It’s from many directions. Yes there are people owning social media who contribute to it, but also foreign powers use this for warfare against West. They managed to turn country’s own population to act against their own interest and against their government.
It isn’t just US that is being attacked this way, it is the whole West.
Yeah i really loved the utopian earth in ‘echopraxia’. Totally want to live there.
But thats kind of my main point; this isnt passive, it’s something being done by interested parties manipulating us largely via toxic algorothms that act as force multipliers for propaganda and one:many control.
And if another person tells me it’s ‘human nature’ im going to scream for like two minutes then grab the nearest sharp object and kill one of us with it. (Thank you for not doing that)
Its not even just the nature of this technology. This didnt happen even to heavy users in the first 20 years 9f internet.
