That is a fantastic article, thank you. I don’t know if there is a way around the ennui engine, not without massive systemic changes; seems like it’s part of human nature. It seems pretty rational too, from an animal-brain point of view … to take a sure win right now instead of a maybe-win later.

It’s unfortunate that this feeds so many people’s anger cycle. I wonder if that’s cultural.

I wonder if the internet culture of sharing has died off somewhat. Old guy here. Are people are so used to consuming they forget about sharing? Or maybe it’s just the type of person who uses the internet today is inherently more consumer then early adopters?

In my day a big appeal of the internet was to share things. But now it is to consume things.
