It is industrial-scale proliferation of cheap smartphones with constant access to the latest consumption-oriented modern media, which teaches and incentivizes viewers to prolong and deepen personal consumption, much of which is itself increasingly electronic and solitary now.

A lot of civic tension derives simply from different interpretations of what "progress" means.

I've always had this loose theory in my mind about the "Asymptote of Truth" such that we can only ever continue to approach truth without ever fully arriving. It would require a lot of bandwidth to move forward that I just don't have. Grok 4 certainly helped move it forward.
